OpenShift

• What version of OpenShift Container Platform is required to integrate with Red Hat Marketplace?

  Red Hat Marketplace requires OpenShift Container Platform 4.2 or higher to run your entitled products.

• What happens when I register my OpenShift cluster with Red Hat Marketplace?

  When you register your OpenShift cluster with Red Hat Marketplace, an agent is installed that enables Red Hat Marketplace to install operators in your cluster. The agent also reports information about your cluster back to the Red Hat Marketplace. This happens so you can see important information about your cluster in the Marketplace, like which clusters are registered, what operators are installed in each cluster, and each cluster's version and status.

Support

• How can I find out the status of my case?

  When you filed your case, you should have received an automated email. Shortly after that, you would have received an email from one of our agents, based on the criticality of your issue, Service Level of your account, and the nature of your question (i.e. account, deployment, purchase, cluster linking, etc). Reply to either email and an agent will get you more information on your case’s status.

Technical

• What happens when I subscribe to an operator in Red Hat Marketplace?

  When you subscribe to an operator in Red Hat Marketplace, you must choose the cluster(s) into which you want to install the operator. Red Hat Marketplace configures an operator subscription in the selected cluster for the chosen product, and then Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) takes over to deploy the operator into your cluster. Once completed, developers can login to the cluster's OpenShift Console and deploy instances of the product that the operator will monitor.

• Can I use Red Hat Marketplace if my OpenShift cluster has no internet connectivity?

  No, your cluster requires internet connectivity to be able pull images from the Red Hat Marketplace private container image registry.

• How can I prevent the Marketplace from collecting information from my environment?

  To prevent the Marketplace from collecting information from your environment, bypass the agent and install your products manually. Follow the manual deployment instructions in the Marketplace to deploy your products. Note that you will have no visibility into your cluster in the Marketplace or where your operators are installed. Certain dashboard views may also not be available.

• What does the Marketplace do with the deployment information that was collected from my OpenShift cluster?

  Marketplace uses the information collected from your cluster to display registered cluster information in your Workspace, and information about each cluster, like version, status, and the operator subscriptions that have been installed in the cluster. Only the owners and admins of your account have access to the data.

• What kind of information does the Marketplace pull from my OpenShift cluster?

  The Marketplace watches resources in your cluster related to the Red Hat Marketplace products you have purchased and deployed into your cluster through the Marketplace. Watched resources include things related to the deployment of operators in your cluster, like Kubernetes subscription, operator, deployment, pod, and other resources. The Marketplace also gathers information about the cluster itself and its nodes. This information is gathered to show you which clusters are registered with the Marketplace, some information about your clusters, like version, status, and the operator subscriptions that have been installed in the cluster. The Marketplace will never read, watch or gather any of your existing Kubernetes secrets.
