that's what they call 'opinionated default configuration'; then they tie in subscription management with telemetry so that opting out of it isn't an option to begin with; https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.1/telemetry/... Several further tie ins and the system as a whole becomes barely usable. But then integration is the whole point of openshift, isn't it?
Wow, I’d didn’t realize the 4.1 docs didn’t get updated - newer doc versions are correct in that disconnected subscriptions just manually entered via OCM. 4.1 didn’t include the support for disconnected clusters and at the time the docs were correct. Newer versions are more clear.
Not to be snarky, but that's easy. Just disconnect your cluster from the internet. We have hundreds of customers that are running disconnected clusters.
Haha. I still work for Red Hat, and Consulting at that. My pay is determined by how many billable hours I put in and my customer reviews. Not directly by how much you buy.
