Chapter 4. Types of certification workflow
4.1. Single Instance Type certification
A Single Instance Type Certification consists of bootable, installable, and operableable collection of physical or virtual hardware features, as defined by a specification provided by a Partner.
The specification may define features as standard, or optional. The Instance Type is considered to provide all of the features from the complete collection of standard and optional components unless explicitly excluded by or from the specification.
4.2. SuperSet Instance Type certification
The SuperSet Instance Type Certification covers a variety of different configurations of the same Instance Type. The SuperSet Instance Type is known by a unique name within a naming convention.
Example
compute_slow, compute_medium, compute_fast
The certification is conducted as per the basic process where all of the configurations are reviewed. The test plan will consider multiple configurations in order to increase the testing and processing efficiency without creating risks. The certification publication in the catalog will be a combined entry where the sizes covered by the certification will be displayed on the Instance Type certification entry.
4.3. Supplemental certification
A supplemental certification allows a certified Instance Type to extend or alter the configuration of the Instance Type.
4.4. Pass-Through Instance Type certification
A Pass-Through Instance Type Certification refers to the ability of a third party system or component to be granted the same certification as Instance Type previously certified by the Original Provider.
The Original Provider can extend a certification granted to their instance type to another Partner’s Instance Type where the original provider:
- Has permission from the third party
- Has the mechanics to ensure the third party does not alter the hardware in such a way that it would no longer be considered a subset of the original model certified by Red Hat
- Extends their responsibilities of support and representative Instance Type to include situations involving the third party Instance Type
The third party however cannot extend their pass-through certification to another Partner.
Both Partners are required to be members of the CCSP program; only the original provider may request Pass-Through certifications.
You may also utilize the pass-through process where the same Instance Type is available with multiple names.
