Hi,

I’m experimenting with the Percona operator for XtraDB on Openshift. There is many ways to install the operator:

- Marketplace operator on OperatorHub
- Certified operator on OperatorHub
- Community operator on OperatorHub
- Helm charts on [GitHub - percona/percona-helm-charts: Collection of Helm charts for Percona Kubernetes Operators.](http://github.com/percona/percona-helm-charts)
- YAML files on [GitHub - percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator: Percona Operator for MySQL based on Percona XtraDB Cluster](https://github.com/percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator)

Other than the simplicity, is there other advantages to install from OperatorHub?

Thank you!

Hi @eprevost  
AFAIK, it’s providing some other management automation, like Certified operators do some security checks, with Helm or YAML, you have to handle things by yourself.
