This epic acts as a spike to define the work needed.

A decision to reuse the RHAIIS image was reinforced in the architects call this week. To make that work, we need to ensure the RHAIIS image includes all of the packages that would have gone into the RHOAI image, so there is still work to do. 

Feature Overview (mandatory - Complete while in New status)
After AIPCC-4 and AIPCC-89 are completed we need to work with the RHOAI team to have them adopt the RHAIIS for their builds.

Goals (mandatory - Complete while in New status)

Set up infrastructure and build a wheel collection for the vllm image in RHOAI, then help them update their image to use our base images and the collection for all supported variants.

Requirements (mandatory -_ Complete while in Refinement status):
A list of specific needs, capabilities, or objectives that a Feature must deliver to satisfy the Feature. Some requirements will be flagged as MVP. If an MVP gets shifted, the Feature shifts. If a non MVP requirement slips, it does not shift the feature.

Done - Acceptance Criteria (mandatory - Complete while in Refinement status):
All variants supported by RHOAI use wheels built by an AIPCC pipeline for RHAIIS already.

Use Cases - i.e. User Experience & Workflow: (Initial completion while in Refinement status):
As a RHOAI developer I can trigger builds of wheels and manage the versions used.

As a RHOAI user I get a vllm built the same way as a RHEL AI user.

Out of Scope {}{}(Initial completion while in Refinement status):
Replacing the image build pipelines used by the RHOAI team

Documentation Considerations {}{}(Initial completion while in Refinement status):
N/A

Questions to Answer {}{}(Initial completion while in Refinement status):
Include a list of refinement / architectural questions that may need to be answered before coding can begin.
