@ousleyp thanks, this PR will add so much clarity to our docs!

@phoracek I expect that there are restrictions regarding cnv networking on the clouds, but I did not yet recognize them documented in the related kbase articles. Are there any plans to document the restrictions?

Unfortunately the Ecosystem Catalog is not yet helpful.

agreed. I looked at RHEC and I could not easily find the cloud partners.
I'm unsure about mentioning RHEC. This was my idea because we typically send customers to RHEC to find our partners, but in this case, it's not easy to find the cloud partners. However, when I applied the cloud filter: https://catalog.redhat.com/en/search?subcategories=Cloud&target_platforms=Red+Hat+OpenShift
I did find links to portworx and such. I defer to Ronen to decide if this is okay to include. IMO, it won't hurt, but I also don't want to introduce confusion.

I'll comment it out for now but can add it back in upon request. :)

ronensdeor · 2025-07-07T15:01:51Z

Hi Pan, A quick question: I believe we will have at least one document per cloud solution, so wouldn't it be better to also include those links in the table instead of below?

@dominikholler pardon my ignorance, but could you link the articles? I'm not aware of any. All we have is a recommendation to use one particular type of networking on public clouds https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.19/html/virtualization/networking#virt-networking.

I do think the network limitations on cloud would merit better doc / KCS.

I was referring to the hints about using cnv on a specific cloud, like:

thanks, this was the hint I was looking for

@ousleyp Might it be helpful for the reader to have a sentence here to let the reader know that there are further cloud specific information in https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.19/html/virtualization/networking#virt-networking ?

A quick question: I believe we will have at least one document per cloud
solution, so wouldn't it be better to also include those links in the table
instead of below?

Thanks, @ronensdeor. I was thinking the same, but when I first opened the PR I was only aware of the OCI links. The links are now in the table. Are there specific links I should add for the two GA clouds (AWS/ROSA), or should I mark those cells as N/A?

ronensdeor · 2025-07-13T06:25:39Z

@ousleyp This looks good. Thank you.
We still have the link to "Installing a cluster on AWS with customizations." below the table. Should it move to the table as well?

I can add that to the table; thanks for pointing that out. (I might also leave it in the list for now since I am not really editing that section, so I apologize for the redundancy.)

@ronensdeor Do you have any recommendations for the ROSA row in the table, which currently has no links? Maybe something like https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rosa/latest/userguide/what-is-rosa.html ? Thanks!

Ah, sorry, I just realized that the AWS link is within our docs (an xref) so it can't go in a module. It has to go in the assembly (where it currently is). Is there an external link that would be helpful? I might also change the heading to "External links" so that it is more clear that the table doesn't contain cross-references. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, @ronensdeor

ronensdeor · 2025-07-15T12:36:48Z

@ousleyp maybe we can link to the official ROSA documentation for virtualization: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_openshift_service_on_aws/4/html/virtualization/index

@ousleyp I think we should remove the AWS from the "Bare metal support" section as it's already in the "Compatible cloud platforms" table.

Thanks @ronensdeor . I'll try to follow up on this later today and do the heading changes we discussed as well.
