Red Hat provides several Operator catalogs that are included with OKD by default.

About Red Hat-provided Operator catalogs

The Red Hat-provided catalog sources are installed by default in the olm namespace, which makes the catalogs available cluster-wide in all namespaces.

The following Operator catalogs are distributed by Red Hat:

Catalog Index image Description

redhat-operators

registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:v4

Red Hat products packaged and shipped by Red Hat. Supported by Red Hat.

certified-operators

registry.redhat.io/redhat/certified-operator-index:v4

Products from leading independent software vendors (ISVs). Red Hat partners with ISVs to package and ship. Supported by the ISV.

community-operators

registry.redhat.io/redhat/community-operator-index:v4

Software maintained by relevant representatives in the redhat-openshift-ecosystem/community-operators-prod/operators GitHub repository. No official support.

During a cluster upgrade, the index image tag for the default Red Hat-provided catalog sources are updated automatically by the Cluster Version Operator (CVO) so that Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) pulls the updated version of the catalog. For example during an upgrade from OKD 4.8 to 4.9, the spec.image field in the CatalogSource object for the redhat-operators catalog is updated from:

registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:v4.8

to:

registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:v4.9
