Feature Overview:

Hypershift-provisioned clusters, regardless of the cloud provider support the proposed integration for OLM-managed integration outlined in OCPBU-559 and OCPBU-560.

Goals 

There is no degradation in capability or coverage of OLM-managed operators support short-lived token authentication on cluster, that are lifecycled via Hypershift.

Requirements:

• the flows in OCPBU-559 and OCPBU-560 need to work unchanged on Hypershift-managed clusters
• most likely this means that Hypershift needs to adopt the CloudCredentialOperator
• all operators enabled as part of OCPBU-563, OCPBU-564, OCPBU-566 and OCPBU-568 need to be able to leverage short-lived authentication on Hypershift-managed clusters without being aware that they are on Hypershift-managed clusters
• also OCPBU-569 and OCPBU-570 should be achievable on Hypershift-managed clusters

Background

Currently, Hypershift lacks support for CCO.

Customer Considerations

Currently, Hypershift will be limited to deploying clusters in which the cluster core operators are leveraging short-lived token authentication exclusively.

Documentation Considerations

If we are successful, no special documentation should be needed for this.
