Chapter 2. Program policies
2.1. Cloud Instance Type
An Instance Type is a specific hardware configuration known by a unique name that will be made available to customers as part of a CCSP solution. The hardware defined in the specification can be physical, virtual, complete, or partitioned.
An Instance Type may also be available in multiple configuration specifications where each configuration includes a unique name within a common naming convention. These configurations (sizes) may be certified and listed together in the Red Hat Ecosystem Certification Catalog. For more information see, SuperSet Instance Type certification
If an Instance Type size configuration is above or below the limits of RHEL the other sizes within the Instance Type may still be certified.
2.2. Policy Changes
Typically, Red Hat limits major revisions in the certification tests and criteria to major releases of RHEL. Red Hat may also release updates to the CCSP Instance Type for the following:
- Policy and/or workflow,
- Criteria,
- Minor OS releases; where new hardware support features are introduced or
- At any other point as deemed necessary.
Only a single version of the policy is active at any one time. This current policy is effective upon its release and supersedes all previous versions.
The CCSP Instance Policy Guide version applied during the certification process will be recorded in certifications upon successful completion. Changes to the workflow guide will be documented in the workflow guide errata notification and package changelog.
2.3. Original Provider
Partner support of certified Instance Type is a fundamental part of Red Hat CCSP Instance type certification. All requests and information about the Instance Type to be certified, including details for the physical and virtual hardware contained within must be submitted by the original provider of the Instance Type to Red Hat.
You may choose to use your own internal or outside Partners for any portion of their testing however any such arrangement are the exclusive responsibility of the CCSP Partner. Red Hat will only interact with the CCSP Partner who is responsible for submitting the certification request and Red Hat will only post original certifications that will be easily identifiable.
2.4. Submission Window
New Instance Type certifications for a given, major release of RHEL can typically be submitted until the 2nd, subsequent major version of RHEL is released.
Certification requests that fall outside of the window must be raised with your EPM or SA. These requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
