+### Platform-specific recommendations
+
+For certain platforms, use platform-native OpenTelemetry distributions [at the edge](/reference/architecture/index.md#understanding-edge-deployment), as they provide the best native experience.
+
+:::{important}
+Elastic does not provide support for distributions other than the {{edot}}.
+:::
+
+#### Red Hat OpenShift
+
+Use the [Red Hat build of OpenTelemetry](https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.20/html/red_hat_build_of_opentelemetry/index) [at the edge](/reference/architecture/index.md#understanding-edge-deployment) to collect and send telemetry data. For support of OpenTelemetry components in OpenShift, contact Red Hat.
+
+#### AWS Lambda
+
+Use the [AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT)](https://aws-otel.github.io/docs/getting-started/lambda) [at the edge](/reference/architecture/index.md#understanding-edge-deployment) to collect and send telemetry data from AWS Lambda services. For support of ADOT components, contact AWS.
+
+:::{tip}
+For AWS Lambda workloads that generate telemetry outside the function runtime, such as CloudWatch logs, use the [{{edot-cf}}](/reference/edot-cloud-forwarder/aws.md) instead.
