I just made some Installations with calico as SDN on OCP 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 in azure, aws and vmware. It's confuse what is "certified" cni plugins, I just discover this alert in a cluster provided by OCP insights This cluster is running with 3rd party SDN plugin Calico, which will encounter support limitations. This version of the product has reached End-of-Support. The tests executed and passed are indicated as follows: The only test required for CNI certification is for Network Conformance. This document contains the list of 3rd party CNI plug-ins that have been certified by Red Hat for use with OpenShift Container Platform. Partners will receive a logo to promote their product as a CNI plug-in certified for Red Hat OpenShift. The certified Operator will also be listed in the OperatorHub section of the OpenShift web console in OpenShift.

Once the certification is approved, the Operator will be published in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog. Only the Network Conformance tests are required, and the table below indicates which tests were passed by each CNI plugin. OpenShift Virtualization (OpenShift 4.6 and later).The end-to-end tests validate that the CNI plugin meets basic functionality criteria for the following components: Partners must complete the corresponding Operator certification as well as pass several end-to-end tests. To be eligible for this badge, the CNI plug-in must be deployed and managed through an Operator.

The Container Network Interface (CNI) badge is a specialization within Red Hat OpenShift certification available to networking products that integrate with OpenShift using a CNI plug-in.
