    so far once

    1. Install baremetal SNO HUB cluster
    2. Install ACM/MCE version 2.11
    3. Install TALM, GitOps operators
    4. Start baremetal cluster deployment with GitOps ZTP workflow
    

    Deployment is stuck:

oc get clusterdeployments.hive.openshift.io -n ecore

    machine-api operator is started on the spoke cluster
