What is the nature and description of the request?

Without modifying Ansible Automation Platform's configuration, there is no way to connect to a container group through a HTTP proxy. There are two ways that Ansible Automation Platform contacts the OpenShift / Kubernetes cluster when launching a job on the container group.

• Automation Controller creates a temporary kubeconfig file (https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/764dcbf94b51f9b55b467824208e4c8b9dc15786/awx/main/scheduler/kubernetes.py#L180-L198)

• Automation Controller sends the job metadata and files to `receptor` to have it send the job to OpenShift / Kubernetes

In the kubeconfig, there appears to be a way to specify a `proxy-url`.

• https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/config-api/kubeconfig.v1/#Cluster

Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

Customer is architecting their environment to have a container group in another environment that is only accessible through a HTTP proxy.

How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

• Add an option for HTTP proxies within the OpenShift / Kubernetes credential

List any affected known dependencies: Doc, UI etc..

• Automation Controller's OpenShift / Kubernetes credential and the documentation for credential
