      In order to be compatible with OpenStack clouds that don't have Swift installed, cluster-image-registry-operator has a mechanism for automatically choosing the storage back-end during the first boot. If Swift is available, Swift is used. Otherwise, a persistent volume claim is issued and block storage is used.

      Before this patch, cluster-image-registry-operator would fall back to using a PVC when it failed to reach Swift for any reason. In particular, lack of connectivity during the first boot would make CIRO fall back to using a PVC.

      With this change, failure to reach the OpenStack API, or other incidental failures, cause CIRO to retry the probe. The fallback to PVC will only occur if the OpenStack catalog is correctly found, and it does not contain object storage (or alternatively, if it is there and the current user does not have permission to list containers).

      Description of problem:

      While deploying the OCP cluster on OSP 16, the installer was supposed to use swift as a storage backend for image-registry however it uses Cinder instead.

This can be seen when installing an OCP 4.8 cluster on OSP 16. The swiftoperator role is already assigned to the OpenStack user.

Below error was found in the registry operator logs related to "swift":
~~~
$ oc logs cluster-image-registry-operator-7bbdcfb94c-lrqjs | grep swift
E1116 09:43:06.539763       1 swift.go:67] swift storage inaccessible: Failed to authenticate provider client: Post "https://osp.ipz001.internal.bosch.cloud:13000/v3/auth/tokens": dial tcp 10.140.249.17:13000: connect: connection timed out
~~~

Also when curled from the registry operator pod, it gets connected, So it seems it was just not ready at the time of installation. Now connectivity seems to be fine.

As a Day-2 operation, switching the storage backend to swift works but with this action, all the images that are stored already in the registry gets deleted.
