An essential phase of partner engagements is to technically align a partner’s application offering with the Red Hat platform. For containerized applications, this work focuses on adopting Red Hat’s OpenShift Container Platform.

Helm Certification complements Operators for kube-native application automation

Containers and Kubernetes play a key role for modern application development, supporting new business models around edge, IoT and AI/ML. Despite all of this, there are still some barriers to even faster adoption of enterprise open source. In EMEA specifically these center around concerns with level of support, compatibility with legacy systems and lack of internal skills.

Red Hat OpenShift 4.8 helps organizations accelerate the creation of new cloud-native applications without abandoning existing environments and IT investments.

Red Hat OpenShift 4.9 will retire a series of Beta level APIs in both alignment and support of the Kubernetes community’s goal of encouraging the use of Stable APIs to increase the trust in API usage for production workloads and meet the expectations of enterprise users. 

Based on recent partner feedback, we will be releasing a new certification tool for Operator bundles that can be executed on any OpenShift cluster.

Kubernetes has removed several APIs from version 1.22. Any Operators utilizing these deprecated APIs will not work on OpenShift 4.9+ (or any cluster vendor utilizing Kubernetes 1.22) and will block your

Our new certification tooling allows you to run the certification tests on your own computer through the downloadable preflight tool. All you need is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating system and access to the image you want to certify.

Red Hat OpenShift 4.10 adds new capabilities in support of AI, along with NVIDIA AI Enterprise 2.0 certification to help streamline development and fuel innovation around intelligent applications

Taking a view from the partner's perspective, we explore the continuous integration process.

Beginning with Kubernetes 1.16, the Kubernetes project periodically deprecates and removes APIs from the platform in order to maintain a clean, high functioning set of APIs.

Red Hat partners can benefit from a new managed service offering in the hybrid cloud application integration space

The Kubernetes project periodically deprecates and removes APIs from the platform. Any time the Kubernetes project deprecates or removes APIs, projects using the affected APIs must adjust to accommodate these changes. OpenShift, and Red Hat partners running workloads and providing solutions for use on OpenShift, subsequently must also adopt and adjust to these upstream changes.

Our open culture inspires us to empower partners to train using the same set of tools and practices that guide Red Hatters in our own customer engagements.
