Feature Overview

OpenShift console supports new features and elevated experience for Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) Operators and Cluster Operators.

Goal:

OCP Console improves the controls and visibility for managing vendor-provided software in customers’ infrastructure and making these solutions available for customers' internal users.

To achieve this, 

• Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) teams have been introducing new features aiming towards simplification and ease of use for both developers and cluster admins.

• On the Cluster Operators side, the console iteratively improves the visibilities to the resources being associated with the Operators to improve the overall managing experience.

We want to make sure OLM’s and Cluster Operators' new features are exposed in the console so admin console users can benefit from them.

Benefits:

• Cluster admin/Operator consumers:
  • Able to see, learn, and interact with OLM managed and/or Cluster Operators associated resources in openShift console.
