The different tiers of {solution-name-upstream} are designed to facilitate ongoing maintenance, support, and testing effort for a pattern. To contribute to a pattern that suits your solution or to learn about onboarding your own pattern, understand the following pattern tiers.
| Pattern tier | Description |
|---|---|
A pattern categorized under the {sandbox} tier provides you with an entry point to onboard to {solution-name-upstream}. The minimum requirement to qualify for the {sandbox} tier is to start with the patterns framework and include minimal documentation. The patterns in this tier might be in a work-in-progress state; and they might have been manually tested on a limited set of platforms. |
|
A pattern categorized under the {tested} tier implies that the pattern might have been recently working on at least one recent version of {rh-ocp}. Qualifying for this tier might require additional work for the pattern’s owner, who might be a partner or a motivated subject matter expert (SME). The patterns in this tier might have a defined business problem with a demonstration. The patterns might have a manual or automated test plan, which passes at least once for each new {rh-ocp} minor version. |
|
A pattern categorized under the {maintained} tier implies that the pattern might have been functional on all currently supported extended update support (EUS) versions of {rh-ocp}. Qualifying for this tier might require additional work for the pattern’s owner who might be a partner or a motivated SME. The patterns in this tier might have a formal release process with patch releases. They might have continuous integration (CI) automation testing. |
