The process for deploying and distributing images MUST be planned and appropriately documented.
This requirement must be implemented organizationally.
Note: OpenShift supports the requirement through the built-in functionalities and enables the highest possible level of automation. On the one hand, CI/CD tools are delivered with OpenShift pipelines and integrated into the platform. On the other hand, pre-configured build processes based on Red Hat experience are available that are based on Source2Image and thus support planning.
The built-in registry allows you to store images and other associated information, such as Helm charts or SBOMs.
The abstractions available in Openshift allow the entire image distribution process to be documented and controlled as code. This further allows the image distribution process to be managed via OpenShift GitOps.
