Considerations for using OLM with MicroShift

You must consider the application of Operators and steps to use them when planning which ones you want to use with your MicroShift platform.

  • Cluster Operators as applied in OpenShift Container Platform are not used in MicroShift.

  • You must create your own catalogs for the add-on Operators you want to use with your applications. Catalogs are not provided by default.

    • Each catalog must have an accessible CatalogSource added to a node, so that the OLM catalog Operator can use the catalog for content.

  • You must use the CLI to conduct OLM activities with MicroShift. The console and OperatorHub GUIs are not available.

Important

Before using an Operator, verify with the provider that the Operator is supported on {product-title}.
