    > I've never had to do that.

    Using OKD (OpenShift Kubernetes Distribution) because I just dealt with this morning:

    https://github.com/okd-project/okd/releases - download the MacOS installer and unzip it.

    Then try to run it from the command line. Be told that it "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". This is NOT the "is an app downloaded from the Internet, do you wish to run it?" dialog.

    Go to Finder, and double click it. Get the same message.

    You have to go to Finder, then right click the app, specifically hit Open (which will open a terminal that will immediately exit), and only now can you run this app in your original terminal.

    OpenShift is just downstream OKD, right? Can’t you just run that locally? Red Hat’s doc should be easy to get access to as well, via their developer accounts. I think.

  • Differences between Red Hat Openshift Container Platform (OCP) and OKD
    1 project | /r/openshift | 20 Oct 2021
    OKD is community supported and totally free to use and modify version of Kubernetes (somewhat similar to Fedora compared to RHEL in terms of being upstream of the commercial product). OpenShift OCP is a subscription-based hybrid cloud enterprise Kubernetes platform that is supported by Red Hat staff and engineers.
  • OpenShift versions used in production
    1 project | /r/openshift | 18 Oct 2021
    Thanks for that - I did see I could enable the red hat sources, but my understanding was using a pull secret from either the OpenShift trial or dev accounts restricted you to non-commercial use on your cluster - it's covered briefly in this discussion: https://github.com/openshift/okd/issues/295
