      Feature Overview

      • As RH OpenShift Product Owners, we want to enable new providers/platforms/service with varying levels of capabilities and integration with minimal reliance on OpenShift Engineering.
      • As a new provider/platform partner, I want to enable my solution (hardware and/or software) with OpenShift with minimal effort.

       

      Problem

      • It is currently challenging for us to enable new platforms / providers without taking the heavy burden on doing the platform specific development ourselves.

      Goals

      • We want to enable the long-tail new platforms/providers to expand our reach into new markets and/or support new use cases.
      • We want to remove strict dependencies we have on Engineering teams to review, support and test new providers.
      • We want to lower the effort required for onboarding new platforms/providers.
      • We want to enable new platform/providers to self-certify.
      • We want to define tiered model for provider/platform integration that delineates ownership and responsibilities throughout new provider/platform development lifecycle and support model.
      • We want to reduce time to onboard new provider/platform – ideally to a single release.
      • We want to maintain consistent customer experience across all providers/platforms.

      Requirements

      • Step-by-step guide on how to add a new platform/provider for each tier
      • Certification tool for partner to self-certify
      • Certification tool results for (at least) each Y/minor release submitted by partner to Red Hat for acknowledgement
      • DCI program to enable partners to run CI with OpenShift on their platform
      • Well documented, accessible, and up-to-date test suites for providing the test coverage of the partner
      • CI includes upgrade testing of OpenShift with partner's components
      • Partner component upgrade failure should not block OpenShift upgrade
      • Partner code is available in repositories in the openshift org on github with an open source license compatible with OpenShift
