Chapter 2. Red Hat OpenShift Certification
The Red Hat OpenShift certification program helps partners to verify if their products meet Red Hat standards of interoperability, security and life cycle management when deployed on the Red Hat OpenShift platform.
2.1. Red Hat Container Storage Interface certification
The Container Storage Interface (CSI) certification is a specialization within Red Hat OpenShift certification available to storage products that integrate with OpenShift using a CSI driver.
To explore more about CSI certifications, see:
Additional resources
2.2. Red Hat Container Network Interface certification
The Container Network Interface (CNI) certification is a specialization within Red Hat OpenShift certification available to networking products that integrate with OpenShift using a CNI plug-in.
To explore more about CNI certifications, see:

2.3. Red Hat Cloud-native network functions
Cloud-native network functions (CNF) and Virtual network functions (VNF) are network functions designed and implemented to run inside containers. Building on the Red Hat Operator Certification, the CNF certification extends the collaboration between Red Hat and its partners to apply best practices specific to telecommunication deployments.

2.4. Red Hat OpenShift Operator certification
The Red Hat OpenShift Operator certification program helps partners to certify their Operators for use on Red Hat OpenShift. With Red Hat OpenShift Certified Operators, customers can benefit from validated, well-integrated, mature and supported Operators from Red Hat or partner ISVs in their hybrid cloud environments.

2.5. Red Hat OpenShift certification for Helm charts
Helm is a Kubernetes-native automation technology and software package manager that simplifies deployment of applications and services. The Red Hat OpenShift certification program for helm charts provides an easy way to automate deployment of applications or infrastructure software in a Kubernetes cluster.

2.6. Red Hat OpenShift Container certification
The Red Hat OpenShift container certification program provides a vast ecosystem to help you build and deploy your containerized software on the cloud. The Universal Base Image (UBI) of Red Hat provides a solid and stable RHEL userspace to streamline efforts as you expand into container development projects.
