This post is to assist the certification tester at our hardware partners to be effective and efficient when conducting the certification tests.

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

Each year, Red Hat surveys information technology (IT) leaders and decision makers to learn their technology goals and priorities for the coming year, as well as where they are in their digital transformation journeys.

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.
