Chapter 5. Certification workflow for non-containerized application


Note

Red Hat recommends that you are a Red Hat Certified Engineer or hold equivalent experience before starting the certification process.

Task Summary

The certification workflow includes three primary stages -

5.1. Certification onboarding

Perform the steps outlined for certification onboarding:

  1. Join the Red Hat Connect for Technology Partner Program.
  2. Agree to the program terms and conditions.
  3. Create your product listing by selecting your desired product category. You can select from the available product categories:

    1. Containerized Application
    2. Standalone Application
    3. OpenStack Infrastructure
  4. Complete your company profile.
  5. Add components to the product listing.
  6. Certify components for your product listing.

5.2. Certification testing

Follow these high-level steps to run a certification test:

  • Log in to the Red Hat Certification portal.
  • Download the test plan.
  • Configure the system under test (SUT) for running the tests.
  • Download the test plan to our SUT.
  • Run the certification tests on your system.
  • Review and upload the test results to the certification portal.

5.3. Publishing the certified or validated application

The Partner Validated or Certified application must be added to your product’s Product Listing page on the Red Hat Partner Connect portal. Once published, your product listing is displayed on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog, by using the product information that you provide. You can publish both the Partner Validated and Certified application on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog with the respective labels.
