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.

Mission

• 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.

Goals

• Expand and fine-tune the OpenShift Validated Cloud & Service Provider (VCSP) program as needed.
• Expand and fine-tune the OpenShift VCSP conformance testing suite/tool as needed to address new capabilities, new tests, reduce false negatives, and/or reduce errors.
• Transition ownership to the Cert-Tool team.
• Enable partners to be able to onboard through self-guided documentation.

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 components are available in their own repositories on github (or alternate places) with an open source license compatible with OpenShift
