NimbostratusDear All,
I check the channel of the CIS operator in openshift and it is in beta channel.
Do you know when this operator will be delivered in stable channel?
We can only deploy in production environment operator that are delivered in stable channel.
Thanks for your reply

Hi rgfarid
CIS operator should be available for production use cases also. I've deployed CIS (both using YAML manifests and using the Openshift Operator) many times. Can you shoot me a message (you can use this DevCentral platform) if you need help with this?
Mike.

Hi MichaelOLeary ,
Thanks for your reply.
My question is related to the default operator channel when trying to install the operator from the openshift redhat catalog.
When we list the catalog, under certified-operator-index, we get this output:
NAME DISPLAY NAME DEFAULT CHANNEL
f5-bigip-ctlr-operator F5 Container Ingress Services beta
We have a requirement for our production environment, the operator must be in stable channel.
We have check with redhat and they have reply to check with the ISV, that is to say F5 support.
Thanks for your help

rgfarid , thanks, I understand you now.
It looks like beta channel is the only option. See the video around the 1m 55 second mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8OvxoDjvuo
If you need a different default channel I think you should raise a github issue here: https://github.com/F5Networks/k8s-bigip-ctlr/issues
Also can you share the command you run to show the default operator channel? (I have never done that from command line)
