Chapter 6. Capabilities: Provision of 3scale services and configurations via the operator
This document contains information about 3scale operator for capabilities, which involves provisioning 3scale services and configurations via the 3scale operator through the OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) user interface.
3scale operator for capabilities is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.
Prerequisites
- A user account with administrator privileges for 3scale 2.8 On-Premises instance
- You must have the 3scale operator installed.
OpenShift Container Platform 4 with a user account that has administrator privileges in the OpenShift cluster.
- Note: OCP 4 supports deployment of 3scale using the operator only.
- For more information about supported configurations, see the Red Hat 3scale API Management Supported Configurations page.
When using the 3scale operator to update API configurations in 3scale, the custom resource definitions (CRDs) are the source of truth. If changes are made in the Admin user interface, they will not persist and eventually be overridden by the definition in the CRD.
The following sections explain how to deploy custom resources related to capabilities, deploy optional tenant custom resources, and how to delete custom resources:
