Preparation

Welcome, this documentation describes the engineering related processes for adding a new infrastructure provider to the OpenShift Container Platform. If you are reading this, then you are most likely either planning to create a new provider or are in the process of implementing your provider for OpenShift. This documentation is intended to address the engineering-specific issues related to the process, if you have questions about other aspects of this process (e.g. legal, marketing, etc.) then you should reach out to your Red Hat representatives with those questions.

Starting the process

To begin, read through this documentation making note of the various components that will need to be configured for OpenShift. You will need to assess how your infrastructure meets the various requirements of OpenShift, and identify where gaps in feature coverage might exist.

If you are creating an infrastructure provider that will be included with OpenShift Container Platform then you should already have a representative from Red Hat who will be your primary contact for questions and help with this process. If you have not contacted Red Het yet, please reach out through this Red Hat Partner Connect page for more information.
