User Story

As a user I want to specify the presence of CCMs when using the External platform type so that I can have a fully integrated openshift experience on partner platforms.

Background

As partners start to develop integrations using the External platform, it is important to provide a methodology for partners to run their own CCMs so that other components, such as CSI drivers, will work properly.

To do this properly, the installer will need to understand how a user can specify the presence of a CCM, as defined in https://github.com/openshift/api/pull/1434 , so that the proper infrastructure configuration is created in the cluster.

Steps

• update installer to understand the presence of the CCM fields in install-config.yaml and then create the proper infrastructure config object.
• Infrastructure status field should be updated with the CCM external info

Stakeholders

• openshift cloud infra team
• openshift installer team
• openshift assisted installer team

Definition of Done

• cluster can be installed using openshift installer with the proper assertions for the presence of a user-provided CCM

• Docs

• the initial documentation for this will be contained in the developer generated docs defined by https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPCLOUD-1581

• Testing

• although we have a test for the general external platform enablement, this change will require unit tests at the minimum, but also should have an e2e test that could deploy a CCM manually in a similar manner as a partner would. this can be an addition to the current vsphere-based test with the addition of the vsphere CCM through a non-CCCMO method.
