      Context

      • OpenShift supports Windows containers: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.10/windows_containers/index.html 
      • Core OpenShift has the concept of a `nodeselector` so that they can selectively avoid scheduling on windows machines while they don't support it: `“kubernetes.io/os: linux”`
      • Now that folks are starting to run mixed clusters, we need to make sure that GitOps doesn’t try and schedule on a windows node
      • We don't want to require customers to taint their Windows nodes, we'd like them to not have to consider where their GitOps is running
      • If the user supplies their own custom node selector, we won't try to merge the node selectors, the user would have to specify `“kubernetes.io/os: linux”` as well.
      • If the user supplies their own custom node Selector, a merge will be performed. And the values if changed by user will take precedence for the same keys.
      • At some point it we'll need to add support for running on Windows, but until then we can use this workaround

      Description

      Add the ability to avoid the GitOps control plane/ArgoCD controllers being deployed on Windows nodes.

      Acceptance Criteria

      • In a mixed-OS cluster containing machines runnings Windows, OpenShift GitOps will choose to only run on non-Windows nodes
