Goal

OVA files are a commonly used format for VM templates. We need a way to import those files into OpenShift Virtualization in a way that multiple new VMs can be created from them.

The import should include:

1. The disk image, including removal of any VMware tools and drivers and adding things that are required for OpenShift Virtualization such as the guest agent and virtio drivers
2. The VM definition including OS type, size (CPU and memory), and workload type, and mapping those properties to OpenShift Virtualization definitions for optimal workload performance

This epic handles OVAs with a single disk and single NIC

Note: MTV already have the capability of importing an OVA, but this import id done from VMware and results as a VM

User Stories

• As a user I would like to import an OVA file that is located on my computer or on a website into OpenShift Virtualization
• As a user, I would like to be able to create multiple VM instances from the imported file
• As a user I would like to easily find all imported OVA
• As a user I would like the VMs that I'm creating from the imported OVA to run at optimal performance

Non-Requirements

• List of things not included in this epic, to alleviate any doubt raised during the grooming process.

Notes

• This epic focus on OVAs with a single NIC and single disk
