The Deployment Validation Operator validates on-premise and managed clusters against a curated collection of KubeLinter checks. These checks implement best practices for Kubernetes-native workloads, helping to ensure that applications are optimized for the operational stability of the cluster.

The Insights Operator gathers Deployment Validation Operator checks every two hours by default and presents data in the Red Hat Lightspeed advisor service. If the Deployment Validation Operator detects issues, cluster administrators can view resolutions in the advisor service. If the Deployment Validation Operator detects no issues, no results are visible in the advisor service.

Curated KubeLinter checks: The Deployment Validation Operator checks a curated, limited collection of all of the available KubeLinter checks. The Deployment Validation Operator does not run the whole list of available KubeLinter checks. Red Hat Lightspeed advisor service recommendations do not exist for all available KubeLinter checks.

Supported Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform versions: All Red Hat-supported versions of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated, and Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS support the Deployment Validation Operator.
