Summary

Override Cluster API (CAPI) images in HyperShift to unblock the CAPI rebase to v1.11. The new CAPI v1.11 release introduces a new API version (v1beta2), and without overriding the images, the controller cannot run because HyperShift doesn't install the new API version yet.

Background

CAPI v1.11 introduces breaking changes with a new v1beta2 API version. To enable development and testing of the CAPI upgrade, we need to override CAPI-related images at the platform level.

Implementation Details

The changes add image override capability for CAPI components in two files:

• hostedcluster_controller.go: Updated to support passing image overrides to platform-specific reconciliation
• platform/platform.go: Added OverrideImages() method to the platform interface to allow platforms to specify custom CAPI images

Acceptance Criteria

• CAPI image overrides are properly passed through the platform interface
• Controller can start and run with overridden CAPI images
• No regression in existing platform functionality

This is a prerequisite for the CAPI v1.11 upgrade effort.
