    Description

      Feature Overview

      • As a Cluster Administrator, I want to opt-out of certain operators at deployment time using any of the supported installation methods (UPI, IPI, Assisted Installer, Agent-based Installer) from UI (e.g. OCP Console, OCM, Assisted Installer), CLI (e.g. oc, rosa), and API.
      • As a Cluster Administrator, I want to opt-in to previously-disabled operators (at deployment time) from UI (e.g. OCP Console, OCM, Assisted Installer), CLI (e.g. oc, rosa), and API.
      • As a ROSA service administrator, I want to exclude/disable Cluster Monitoring when I deploy OpenShift with HyperShift — using any of the supported installation methods including the ROSA wizard in OCM and rosa cli — since I get cluster metrics from the control plane.  This configuration should be persisted through not only through initial deployment but also through cluster lifecycle operations like upgrades.
      • As a ROSA service administrator, I want to exclude/disable Ingress Operator when I deploy OpenShift with HyperShift — using any of the supported installation methods including the ROSA wizard in OCM and rosa cli — as I want to use my preferred load balancer (i.e. AWS load balancer).  This configuration should be persisted through not only through initial deployment but also through cluster lifecycle operations like upgrades.

      Goals

      • Make it possible for customers and Red Hat teams producing OCP distributions/topologies/experiences to enable/disable some CVO components while still keeping their cluster supported.

      Scenarios

      1. This feature must consider the different deployment footprints including self-managed and managed OpenShift, connected vs. disconnected (restricted and air-gapped), supported topologies (standard HA, compact cluster, SNO), etc.
      2. Enabled/disabled configuration must persist throughout cluster lifecycle including upgrades.
      3. If there's any risk/impact of data loss or service unavailability (for Day 2 operations), the System must provide guidance on what the risks are and let user decide if risk worth undertaking.

      Requirements

      • This Section:* A list of specific needs or objectives that a Feature must deliver to satisfy the Feature.. Some requirements will be flagged as MVP. If an MVP gets shifted, the feature shifts. If a non MVP requirement slips, it does not shift the feature.
      Requirement Notes isMvp?
      CI - MUST be running successfully with test automation This is a requirement for ALL features. YES
      Release Technical Enablement Provide necessary release enablement details and documents. YES
