Where entity is the name of the company, chart-name a unique name for the chart in this repo, and version the current version of the chart. The chart can also be packaged using the following command:

$ helm package ./<chart-name>

Package can then be placed directly under ./charts/partners/<entity>/<chart-name>/<version> for example: ./charts/partners/redhat/my-awsome-chart/0.1.2/my-awsome-chart-0.1.2.tgz.

OpenShift Certification Program

The certification program is a great opportunity to not only double check the integrity of the charts but also use some additional testing resources. Static verification logic will run first and then actual chart testing can be run against real OpenShift clusters. If partners prefer to run the test on their own clusters, the certification program allows for that via a test report submission.
