The matrix of officially supported operating systems and JVMs is available here: Support Matrix. Elasticsearch is tested on the listed platforms, but it is possible that it will work on other platforms too.
In production, we recommend you run {es} on a dedicated host or as a primary service. Several {es} features, such as automatic JVM heap sizing, assume it’s the only resource-intensive application on the host or container. For example, you might run {metricbeat} alongside {es} for cluster statistics, but a resource-heavy {ls} deployment should be on its own host.
