Re: F5 BIG-IP deployment with OpenShift - platform and networking options

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)

    Trinath_Somanch you may be interested in this request.

      Dear team,

      Thanks for your support.

      I will raise a github issue related to this RFE.

      MichaelOLearyto get the default channel you can use this command:

      prerequisite:

      the operator must be installed on the openshift cluster first!

      command:

      $ oc get subs -n <operator_namespace>

      output:

      NAME               PACKAGE            SOURCE                  CHANNEL

      xxx                    xxxxxxxxx            xxxxxxx                    operator_default_channel

       

      Regards,

      Rabah
