Chapter 2. Bare Metal Certification Process
Red Hat OpenStack Platform Hardware Bare Metal Certification creates value for customers as the system can be managed and automatically deployed and redeployed with Red Hat OpenStack Platform, without manual intervention, at scale, in a private cloud.
The certification process, through a series of tests, validates that a certified solution meets the requirements of an enterprise cloud and is jointly supported by Red Hat and your organization.
Most of the certification subtests provide an immediate return status (Pass/Fail); however, some subtests may require detailed review by Red Hat to confirm success or failure. Such tests are marked with REVIEW status in Red Hat Certification application. Some tests may also identify a potential issue and return a WARN status. This status indicates that best practices may not have been followed. Tests marked with the WARN status warrant attention or action(s) but do not prevent a certification from publishing. Partners should review the output of such tests and perform appropriate action(s) based on the information contained within the warnings.
