Red Hat-provided catalogs - Catalogs | Extensions | OKD 4
×

Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) v1 is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.

Red Hat provides several Operator catalogs that are included with OKD by default.

Currently, Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) v1 cannot authenticate private registries, such as the Red Hat-provided Operator catalogs. This is a known issue. As a result, the OLM v1 procedures that rely on having the Red Hat Operators catalog installed do not work. (OCPBUGS-36364)

About Red Hat-provided Operator catalogs

The Red Hat-provided catalog sources are installed by default in the olm namespace, which makes the catalogs available cluster-wide in all namespaces.

The following Operator catalogs are distributed by Red Hat:

Catalog Index image Description

redhat-operators

registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:v4

Red Hat products packaged and shipped by Red Hat. Supported by Red Hat.

certified-operators

registry.redhat.io/redhat/certified-operator-index:v4

Products from leading independent software vendors (ISVs). Red Hat partners with ISVs to package and ship. Supported by the ISV.

redhat-marketplace

registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-marketplace-index:v4

community-operators

registry.redhat.io/redhat/community-operator-index:v4

Software maintained by relevant representatives in the redhat-openshift-ecosystem/community-operators-prod/operators GitHub repository. No official support.

During a cluster upgrade, the index image tag for the default Red Hat-provided catalog sources are updated automatically by the Cluster Version Operator (CVO) so that Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) pulls the updated version of the catalog. For example during an upgrade from OKD 4.8 to 4.9, the spec.image field in the CatalogSource object for the redhat-operators catalog is updated from:

registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:v4.8

to:

registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:v4.9
