What are Keycloak features

Cloud-IAM provides a vanilla Keycloak distribution, meaning it ships each official Keycloak version as-is, including its default feature set.

Each Keycloak release may include:

  • Stable (production-ready) features
  • Disabled features (not active by default)
  • Experimental or technology preview features
  • Deprecated features (scheduled for removal)
    For more details about each feature type, refer to the official Keycloak feature documentation.

While experimental features are not considered production-ready by the Keycloak project, you may still want to enable them for testing, evaluation, or early adoption purposes, even though they may change or be removed in a future release.

Cloud-IAM makes it easy to manage these features via the console. They can be toggled using additional flags passed at server startup. The list of available features is maintained by Cloud-IAM and depends on the specific Keycloak version running in your cluster.
