Epic Goal

The Ingress Operator should install OSSM 3.2 and Istio 1.27.3 for Gateway API in OpenShift 4.21.

Note: OSSM 3.1 and OSSM 3.2 both support Gateway API v1.3.0. NE-2161 bumps Gateway API from v1.2.1 to v1.3.0 in OpenShift 4.21. This epic does not need to bump the Gateway API CRDs.

Why is this important?

OpenShift 4.20 installs OSSM 3.1. OpenShift 4.21 should update to OSSM 3.2 in order to stay up to date and get the latest fixes.

Updating OSSM also enables people who want the latest OSSM installed for Service Mesh, and staying up to date simplifies future upgrades.

Planning Done Checklist

The following items must be completed on the Epic prior to moving the Epic from Planning to the ToDo status

• Priority is set by engineering
• Epic must be Linked to a Parent Feature
• Target version must be set
• Assignee must be set
• Enhancement Proposal is Implementable
• No outstanding questions about major work breakdown
• Are all Stakeholders known? Have they all been notified about this item?
• Does this epic affect SD? Have they been notified? (View plan definition for current suggested assignee)
  1. Please use the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox to facilitate the conversation with SD Architects. The SD architecture team monitors this checkbox which should then spur the conversation between SD and epic stakeholders. Once the conversation has occurred, uncheck the “Discussion Needed: Service Delivery Architecture Overview” checkbox and record the outcome of the discussion in the epic description here.
  2. The guidance here is that unless it is very clear that your epic doesn’t have any managed services impact, default to use the Discussion Needed checkbox to facilitate that conversation.

Additional information on each of the above items can be found here: Networking Definition of Planned
