Greetings Red Hat Partners, Starting today May 17th we are accepting official certification requests and results for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.13. This includes all cloud, hardware and software certifications..
Testing must be conducted using official releases of RHOCP 4.13 and the certification test suite(s) but otherwise continues to utilize the established certification workflows and tooling you are already familiar with. We are also pleased to announce the general availability of Assisted Installer certification for RHOC 4.13 onward. Assisted Installer certification is a hardware certification for systems that sits alongside the current User Provisioned Infrastructure (UPI) and Installer Provisioned Infrastructure (IPI) certifications. This certification demonstrates compatibility both with the OpenShift Assisted Installer <https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.13/installing/installing_on_prem_assisted/installing-on-prem-assisted.html> and operation as a single node openshift cluster. Assisted Installer certification does not require standing up a separate RHOCP cluster for testing as the IPI certification does. Assisted Installer certification is intended to be conducted from the same lab environment as your RHEL certification. The SUT must be able to reach the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console <https://console.redhat.com/openshift/assisted-installer/clusters> for Assisted Installer certification. Further information and details for the Assisted Installer certification can be found in the Bare Metal Policy <https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_certification/8.61/html/red_hat_openstack_platform_hardware_bare_metal_certification_policy_guide/index> and Bare Metal Workflow <https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_certification/8.61/html/red_hat_openstack_platform_hardware_bare_metal_certification_workflow_guide/index> guides. Documentation for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.13 Certification can be found here: - Cloud Certification <https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_certified_cloud_and_service_provider_certification/8.61> - Hardware Certification <https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux_hardware_certification/8.61> - Software Certification <https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_software_certification/8.61> If you need access to the documentation, test suites, or workflows please contact us through the Red Hat Partner Acceleration Desk <https://access.redhat.com/articles/6463941>. Special notes for RHOCP 4.13 Certifications: Software partners who are conducting container recertification from a previous RHOCP 4.x release to 4.13; privileged containers require additional review on your part to ensure proper functionality. Highlighted in the What’s new in OpenShift 4.13 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxvW_lVhsNo> video; RHEL CoreOS is now based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2. Depending on the specifics of your containers and the required privileges your containers may no longer be fully compatible <https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/rhel-container-compatibility> if the container is not based on RHEL9 UBI. Hardware partners who have already or in the future successfully complete a RHEL 9.0-9.2 hardware certification on their servers will automatically receive the associated RHOCP 4.13 UPI certification for that same server in accordance with the compatibility of the RHEL versions utilized by RHEL CoreOS <https://access.redhat.com/articles/6907891>. We value your ongoing participation in Red Hat certification, software development, and testing efforts. Thank you for your continued partnership. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact your partner manager or engineering account manager. Regards, The Red Hat Certification Team
