Epic Goal

Implement a method of installing OpenShift on PowerVC through the OpenShift Installer.

The code reuses the OpenStack provider (PowerVC's code is OpenStack). The code, where there are differences for PowerVC, is modularized.

Ensure any code added to the openstack provider does not interfere with existing deployment methods.

Why is this important?

• Provides an easy way to bring a cluster up on premise. PowerVC provides a backend that makes it easy to provision Power virtual machines and the OpenShift installer provides an easy way to deploy OpenShift.

Scenarios

1. A cluster-admin, deploy a cluster on PowerVC using IPI
2. A cluster-admin, destroys a cluster on PowerVC using IPI.
3. A cluster-admin scales a MachineSet with PowerVC

Acceptance Criteria

• The code is behind a featuregate
• A user can install an OpenShift Cluster on PowerVC using IPI PowerVC.
• The user sets up minimum resources to support the PowerVC use-case.

Dependencies (internal and external)
1. API team
2. Installer Team
3. ShiftOnStack
3.CLOUD
3.Ingress
3.Storage

UPI install with PowerVC already has an image.
