Epic Goal

As an OpenShift hub cluster / ACM administrator, I want to deploy bare metal clusters from a hub cluster running on ROSA or AWS.

Acceptance Criteria

• Bare metal worker nodes can be deployed from a hub cluster running ACM in the Central Infrastructure Management workflow as a day 2 operation from ROSA.
• It is possible to interact with the Metal3 BaremetalHost API to provision baremetal hosts from a non-baremetal controlplane
• CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated
• Release Technical Enablement - Provide necessary release enablement details and documents.

Notes

• The Cluster Baremetal Operator is available when deploying a OpeShift cluster on the OpenStack, vSphere, and "none" platforms.
• METAL-300 enables AWS too, starting in 4.12.
• We need details of the AWS setup with VPCs.
• The team at American Family offered to set it up (rnix@redhat.com) and will provide more insights and findings.
• Verifying it will require access (via a dedicated VPC) between AWS and the Red Hat infra with bare metal nodes.
