Epic Goal

• Enable ACM to provision clusters on Azure using Azure Marketplace images to drive committed cloud spend towards OpenShift Subscriptions

Why is this important?

• OpenShift is strategically targeting presence in cloud provider marketplaces
• A rudimentary implementation exists using openshift-install and customized templates as described in https://access.redhat.com/articles/6484031
• Customers using ACM / Hive should have the capability to deploy OpenShift clusters running of images from the Azure Marketplace to enable hourly consumption
• Other cloud provider marketplaces are probably enabled in the same way at first (an RHCOS image used by worker nodes to drive OCP billing via the cloud provider)

Scenarios

1. As a user of ACM I'd like to use Hive to deploy a cluster on Azure that is billed on a pay-as-you bases via a RHCOS image from the Azure Marketplace for worker nodes only
2. The exact RHCOS image used for the cluster's workers is supplied by the user
