The Rancher Partner Charts Repository is a collection of helm charts fromSUSE partners that are certified to run on Rancher-supported Kubernetesdistributions. Users can deploy these charts directly from the Apps view inRancher Manager. Minor Rancher-specific modifications are added to these chartsin order to provide the best possible experience using them from within Rancher.

partner-charts-ci is used toautomate many aspects of this repository. For the technical details of thisrepository, please consult thepartner-charts-ci documentation.

Before submitting a chart to this repository, you must become aSUSE "Ready" Verified partner.You can start this process with aPartner Application.

To certify your software as SUSE "Ready", you need to attest that the software:

• has been tested on RKE2 or K3s and publishes documentation showing supportedversions, including
  • version of Rancher (e.g. 2.8)
  • Rancher-supported distribution of Kubernetes (RKE2, K3s, EKS, etc.)
  • version of Kubernetes (e.g. 1.27)
• is supported by your organization on the declared Rancher versions and configurations
• is actively maintained and proactively updated
  • critical vulnerabilities are patched in a timely way
  • release notes disclose serious bugs and vulnerabilities
• has a license and/or terms and conditions for use available in publicdocumentation or via the chart itself
• does not compete commercially with Rancher Prime

Once your software is certified as SUSE "Ready", there are a few more requirementsfor inclusion in this repository. Your software's helm chart must:

• be helm 3 compatible
• be available from a publichelm repository(recommended) or a public git repository
• havekubeVersion set in the chart's metadata
• contain anapp-readme.md file (refer to thepartner-charts-ci documentation for more details)
• be deployable from the current version of Rancher with the default values

Meeting these requirements ensures that Rancher users can easily deploy yoursoftware.

Each SUSE partner organzation is responsible for maintaining the versionsof their helm charts in this repository. However, SUSE also monitors thisrepository and may make changes if necessary.

Charts may be removed from this repository for a number of reasons:

• Technical requirements are not met
• A serious security problem is discovered
• The vendor's SUSE "Ready" partnership is no longer active

In these cases, the chart will first be deprecated. While a chart is deprecated,no new versions of the chart will be added to this repository. The chart willbe left in the deprecated state for a minimum of 3 months, and then it will beremoved. The pull requests that deprecate and remove the chart will indicate analternative source (e.g. the corresponding upstream project orRancher PrimeApplication Collection) if one is available.
