Expose CIM as an OpenShift Console Dynamic Plugin so it runs natively inside OCP/ACM console, using the Console Dynamic Plugin SDK for routing, RBAC, K8s access, and service proxying.

High-level steps

• Isolate CIM entry and adapters (no global window, no direct fetch to cluster APIs).

• Wrap all K8s CRUD in SDK-based helpers (k8sCreate/List/Patch/Delete, useK8sWatchResource).

• Use Console Plugin routing and navigation extensions to mount CIM pages.

• Use ConsolePlugin CR proxy to reach assisted-service (and image-service) from the plugin.

• Package via Webpack 5 Module Federation with the SDK; register in cluster with a ConsolePlugin resource.

Minimal architecture

• Plugin host: OpenShift Console (and ACM Console).

• Plugin runtime APIs:

• K8s: @openshift-console/dynamic-plugin-sdk (auth, impersonation handled).

• Assisted Service: ConsolePlugin proxy endpoints.

• CIM UI: existing components adapted to read K8s functions from a provider and call Assisted API via proxied URLs.
