Note

Select this option only if you want to certify your CNF project.

This is an optional feature that allows you to certify your Vendor Validated project by using the Red Hat certification tool. For every Vendor Validated project, a new functional certification request will be created on the Red Hat Partner Certification portal. When you place a request for certification, your functional certification request will be processed by the CNF team for certification.

If you certify your Vendor Validated CNF project then it will be displayed on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog with the Certified label.

Prerequisites

  1. Complete the Pre-Publication checklist before proceeding with the Certification checklist.
  2. Certify your attached container images, operator bundles or helm charts before submitting your CNF project for certification.

Procedure

To certify your Vendor Validated CNF project, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Certify the functionality tool to certify your CNF tile and click Start. A new functional certification request is created and will be redirected to your project on the Red Hat Partner Certification (rhcert) portal.
  2. Run the CNF certification test suite or use DCI OpenShit App Agent . It consists of a series of test cases derived from best practices to evaluate whether your product adheres to these principles and satisfies the Red Hat certification standards.
  3. To certify your CNF project, perform the following steps on your CNF project page on the Red Hat Partner Certification (rhcert) portal:

    1. Navigate to the Summary tab,

      1. To submit your CNF certification test results, from the Files section click Upload. Select the claims.json and tnf_config.yml files. Then, click Next. A successful upload message is displayed.
      2. Add your queries related to certification, if any, in the Discussions text box.
      3. Click Add Comment. By using this option, you can communicate your questions to the Red Hat CNF certification team. The Red Hat CNF certification team will provide clarifications for your queries.
    2. In the Summary tab,

      1. Navigate to the Partner Product category.
      2. Click the edit icon below the Partner Product Version option to enter your product version and then click the checkmark button. Your product version gets updated.
    3. Navigate to the Properties tab,

      1. Click the Platform list menu to select the platform on which you want to certify your CNF project. For example - x86_64
      2. Click the Product Version list menu to select the Red Hat product version on which you want to certify your CNF project. For example - Red Hat OpenShift Platform
      3. Click Update Values. The selected values are updated.
Note

All the versions of partner products are not certified for use with every version of Red Hat products. You need to certify each version of your product with the selected Red Hat base version. For example, if you certify your product version 5.11 with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform version 4.13, you can use only the 5.11 version and not the later versions. Therefore certify every version of your product individually with the latest version of the Red Hat base product.

The Red Hat CNF certification team will review and verify the details of your CNF project. When the Red Hat CNF certification team identifies issues or violations in the recommended best practices with your CNF, joint discussions will ensue to find the remediation options and timeline. The team also considers temporary exceptions if there is a commitment to fix the issues with an identified release target or timeline. All exceptions will be documented and published in a KIE base article listing all non compliant items before CNF gets listed on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog but the technical details will remain private.

Note

All the containers, operators or Helm charts referenced in your CNF project must be recertified before beginning to certify a CNF project in the prescribed order.

After successful verification by the Red Hat CNF certification team, your Vendor Validated CNF project will become certified, and will be automatically published on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog with the Certified label.

33.2. Managing Project settings

You can configure the CNF project details through the Settings tab. When your CNF project gets successfully verified by the Red Hat CNF certification team, your product listing is published on the Red Hat Ecosystem catalog along with the following details:

  1. Project Details - This includes your Project name and Technical contact email address. This information will be used by Red Hat to contact you if there are any issues specific to your certification project.

    Note

    Red Hat recommends including the product version to the project name to aid easy identification of the newly created CNF project. For example, <CompanyName ProductName> 1.2 - OCP 4.12.2.

  2. Click Add new contact, if you want to add an Additional Technical contact email address.
  3. Click Save.
Note

All the fields marked with an asterisk * are required and must be completed before you can save your changes on this page.
