[Hwcert-announce-list] Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16 Hardware Certification Available

[Engineering Partner Management]

Greetings Red Hat Partners,

We are pleased to announce the availability of the Red Hat OpenStack
Platform 16 Compute Node and Bare Metal Certification. These
certifications are a continuation of the Nova and Ironic certification
processes for your server and baseboard management controllers (BMC)
using the official release of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.

The Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16 Compute Node certification continues
to be automatically awarded upon completion of the corresponding Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 8 hardware certifications for x86_64 and PPC64LE
architectures including RHEL KVM virtualization as RHOSP 16 continues
the tradition of being built on a common base.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16 Bare Metal certification continues to
require first completing the Compute Node certification and additional
BMC testing using the Ironic service inside of RHOSP 16 to validate
the manageability of the server. When conducting Bare Metal
certification please use the listed Red Hat Certification 7.6 packages
