Epic Goal

• PowerVM and PowerVS Operators and Operands built on rhel9
  • Enable the following drivers with rhel9 base images which are FIPS compliant
    • https://github.com/openshift/ibm-powervs-block-csi-driver
    • https://github.com/openshift/ibm-powervs-block-csi-driver-operator
    • https://github.com/openshift/machine-api-provider-powervs
    • https://github.com/openshift/cloud-provider-powervs
      We may also want to check any upstream, adjacent, or supplementary repos:
    • https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/ibm-powervs-block-csi-driver  ?
    • powervm-rmc
    • nfs-provisioner? we use in some deployments for upi

• Power VS image FIPS support (ubi vs. rhel-els) refer to MULTIARCH DEV CALL

2024-05-02 - Recent update to Operator
As a part of CVP-4057 [0] initiative, CVP extends the Operator Infrastructure Feature Test [1] to not only validate the presence/absence of all infrastructure annotations [2] with “true”/”false” values, but for the "features.operators.openshift.io/disconnected" and "features.operators.openshift.io/fips-compliant" annotations, also check if those values are set to “true”.

Confirm....

Why is this important?

• To be enabled for FIPS we need to base on RHEL9
