Overview

This repository provides a set of test cases to verify the conformance of a workload with the Red Hat Best Practices for Kubernetes.

Workload

The app (containers/pods/operators) we want to certify according Telco partner/Red Hat’s best practices.

Red Hat Best Practices Test Suite for Kubernetes

The tool we use to certify a workload.

The purpose of the tests and the framework is to test the interaction of the workload with OpenShift Container Platform (OCP).

Info

This test suite is provided for the workload developers to test their workload’s readiness for certification. Please see the Developers’ Guide for more information.

Features

• The test suite generates a report (claim.json) and saves the test execution log (cnf-certsuite.log) in a configurable output directory.

• The catalog of the existing test cases and test building blocks are available in CATALOG.md

Architecture

There are 3 building blocks in the above framework.

• the CNF represents the workload to be certified. The Test Suite identifies the resources (containers/pods/operators etc) belonging to the workload via labels or static data entries in the Config File

• the Certification container/exec is the Test Suite running on the platform or in a container. The executable verifies the workload under test configuration and its interactions with OpenShift

• the Debug pods are part of a Kubernetes daemonset responsible to run various privileged commands on Kubernetes nodes. Debug pods are useful to run platform tests and test commands (e.g. ping) in container namespaces without changing the container image content. The debug daemonset is instantiated via the privileged-daemonset repository.
