Installation procedure without "cloudctl" command nor GitHub

For security reasons, we would like to be able to install CP4D and the add-ons :

  • without having to download anything from GitHub (we would prefer to download everything from the IBM container image registry "cp.icr.io" or from an IBM RPM package registry for instance) ;

  • without having to run a blck-box software as "cloudctl" command, especially when it requires to be connected to the Openshift cluster as a cluster administrators.

Instead of having to download and use the CASE packages through the "cloudctl" command, would it be possible to just define a bunch of catalog sources and then create the operator subscriptions in order to install the operators we need?

Thank you.

    Hi Frédéric, Merci for submitting this request. We realize that security is one of the top priorities in enterprise environments and we are always seeking to address these issues. So in our next minor release of Cloud Pak for Data, we will be introducing a change where the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Platform 'oc' command can be used directly instead of indirectly via the cloudctl tool. This will remove the need to access github or use the cloudctl tool to deploy Cloud Pak for Data.

    In the meantime we have provided a workaround for you to use at the current 4.0.x releases, (which we have heard that you have been able to implement successfully.) Let use know if you have any further questions or concerns.
