Technical Prerequisites
Certification requires that you verify the functionality of your product on the target Red Hat platform. Through the partner program, Red Hat offers free (also know as Not-for-resale or NFR) subscriptions for products such as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. To request software access as a partner, follow these instructions. Once your access has been approved, you may download software from the Customer Portal.
The following are requirements for building container images such that they meet the certification criteria. This section applies to both container application and Operator images. Although labels and licenses are not required to successfully build a container, they are required for Red Hat Certification.
