Suggested change
| `projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/` | Custom {op-system} image
| `projects/redhat-marketplace-public/global/images/` | GCP Marketplace {op-system} image

It's better to lead with marketplace for this case, custom can be just non standard and doesn't necessarily have to be from the marketplace.

I believe I picked this term up from the install docs: You can override the default behavior by using a custom RHCOS image that is available from the Azure Marketplace.
I like your version better, just to make it clear.

{gcp-short} does not publish Marketplace images for {product-title} later than these {product-title} 4.13 images. If the current boot image in your cluster matches one of the listed images, no further action is necessary.

Similar to https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/109021/changes#r3001249060; I'm not sure how to best explain this bit. Perhaps we should just ask them to compare their new bootimage vs their current bootimage so the docs dont have to be updated in the future for an update?

GCP marketplace images are not accessible via openshift-install like AWS marketplace images are, so maybe the best approach is

  • Azure -> ask them to compare against openshift-install values
  • GCP -> we manually update the docs everytime the GCP marketplace gets a bump, so we just do the text change I proposed above(Red Hat is responsible, not GCP strictly speaking)

How do we track if there is an image bump?

No easy way, unfortunately. For now, we'd need to list the lack of newer images as a known issue so we don't forget about it. I can try to keep an eye on it and check occasionally, but ideally we're able to get the publishers to do a newer release/automate it to a degree.
