Operator version 2.64.1, running CrateDB 6.4.4, passed all nine lifecycle test scenarios on Red Hat OpenShift 4.22.11, an Extended Update Support release. Tests covered installation, scaling, recovery from pod and zone failures, storage, upgrades, monitoring, and removal. Each cluster runs under a dedicated per-cluster SecurityContextConstraint bound to its own ServiceAccount with no cluster-wide privileges. The operator is open source under the Apache 2.0 license, and the full validation report is public on GitHub. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is the CrateDB Operator certified to run on Red Hat OpenShift? Yes, the CrateDB Operator is Red Hat Partner Validated and listed on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog. Operator version 2.64.1, running CrateDB 6.4.4, passed all nine lifecycle test scenarios on Red Hat OpenShift 4.22.11, an Extended Update Support release, covering installation, scaling, failure recovery, storage, upgrades, monitoring, and removal. _Teams evaluating CrateDB on OpenShift can track vendor validation updates like this on daily.dev._ ### How does the CrateDB Operator handle security on OpenShift compared to vanilla Kubernetes? Each CrateDB cluster runs under a dedicated per-cluster SecurityContextConstraint bound to its own ServiceAccount, with no cluster-wide privileges, and it respects Pod Security Admission. This lets a security team review exactly what CrateDB is permitted to do without needing other platform-wide changes, since OpenShift enforces stricter security than vanilla Kubernetes. _Developers securing database workloads on OpenShift can follow operator security practices like this on daily.dev._ ### Is the CrateDB Kubernetes Operator open source? Yes, the CrateDB Operator is open source under the Apache 2.0 license. It declaratively manages CrateDB clusters in Kubernetes and OpenShift, handling provisioning, safe scaling without data loss, rolling upgrades, persistent storage with in-place expansion, and teardown, and it exposes Prometheus-format metrics on every node by default. _Engineers choosing open-source database operators can keep tabs on releases like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [RavenDB Kubernetes Operator](https://daily.dev/posts/ravendb-kubernetes-operator-5kmgccn7q) · Ayende @ Rahien · 16 upvotes · 0 comments - [What's new for developers in Red Hat OpenShift 4.22](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-for-developers-in-red-hat-openshift-4-22-w0f5qwqyq) · Red Hat Developer · 1 upvotes · 1 comments - [Red Hat Expands OpenShift Application Development Environment](https://daily.dev/posts/red-hat-expands-openshift-application-development-environment-9febxassl) · Cloud Native Now · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [New Release: CrateDB 6.4](https://daily.dev/posts/new-release-cratedb-6-4-i19xpjbb7) · CrateDB · 16 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#kubernetes](https://daily.dev/tags/kubernetes), [#openshift](https://daily.dev/tags/openshift), [#red-hat](https://daily.dev/tags/red-hat), [#cratedb](https://daily.dev/tags/cratedb) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/cratedb-operator-is-now-red-hat-partner-validated-for-openshift-bprbq9jt3) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"CrateDB Operator Is Now Red Hat Partner Validated for OpenShift","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/cratedb-operator-is-now-red-hat-partner-validated-for-openshift-bprbq9jt3","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/cratedb-operator-is-now-red-hat-partner-validated-for-openshift-bprbq9jt3"},"datePublished":"2026-10-29T12:16:32.571Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T12:17:04.509Z","description":"The CrateDB Operator is now Red Hat Partner Validated and listed on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog.
