Also known as "Singapore Gateway Service"

Slack:  #forum-acm-singapore-gateway-service

Problem statement: 

AppCloud needs a way for physical Kubernetes infrastructure clusters to be registered into the Red Hat Control Plane Service.  This includes the use cases of connecting clusters from OpenShift Cluster Manager and users that want to BYO cluster from another cloud or on-premises.

Summary (what does this component even do?)

• Will allow *ks clusters to be registered and viewed from the HAC Infrastructure Cluster UI
• Will connect Kubernetes clusters to the Red Hat Control Plane Service (KCP)
• Will handle lifecycling the KCP syncer agent (installing, upgrading, removing)
• Will manage the clusters that provide “free-tier” compute services for RHCPS and AppStudio
• Could provide a monetized abstracted compute service similar to AWS Fargate or GKE Autopilot
• Could provide a path for free-to-fee conversion for compute services on c.rh.c
• Will simplify the user experience and front-end code for managing clusters within the RHCPS
• Will provide a foundation for the Config Management service to built on

Timelines:

• Service Preview with Red Hat Control Plane Service & AppStudio - October 2022

Requirements:

• A user of OpenShift Cluster Manager can connect an OSD/ROSA/ARO/ROKS cluster into the Red Hat Control Plane Service
• A user of a non-OpenShift distribution (EKS, AKS, GKE, IKS) can connect the cluster into the Red Hat Control Plane Service
• A user of a self-managed OpenShift on any supported infrastructure provider can connect the cluster into the Red Hat Control Plane Service
• A user of AppCloud (Red Hat Control Plane Service or AppStudio) can be provided access to "free-tier" compute (managed by Red Hat)
