Problem:

The OCP Dev Console will enable multi-cluster support. Each backend of the console will need to support getting the k8 context from the selected cluster rather than the current cluster where is running.

Goal:

Enable Console Helm backend to support multi-cluster environment.

Why is it important?

Helm feature will be disabled if customer is in a multi-cluster environment but helm backend does not support multi-cluster.

Use cases

Customer in a multi-cluster environment selects a target cluster and tries to install a helm chart. The chart should be deployed in the target cluster, not on the cluster where console backend runs.

Acceptance criteria

Helm is enabled and able to deploy charts to target cluster in a multi-cluster environment.

Dependencies (External/Internal)

Console team will write common code handling the context resolution to be used by each backend api. This will make sure the code is maintainable across all api backends.
