      Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

      Complete a list of requirements to include feature enhancements and support specific configuration modifications that will enable iBM ROKS to migrate to OVN-Kubernetes as the default CNI implementation. 

      Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)

      IBM ROKS' default CNI will be OVN-Kubernetes. 

      Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):

       

      Anyone reviewing this Feature needs to know which deployment configurations that the Feature will apply to (or not) once it's been completed.  Describe specific needs (or indicate N/A) for each of the following deployment scenarios. For specific configurations that are out-of-scope for a given release, ensure you provide the OCPSTRAT (for the future to be supported configuration) as well.

      Deployment considerations List applicable specific needs (N/A = not applicable)
      Self-managed, managed, or both  
      Classic (standalone cluster)  
      Hosted control planes  
      Multi node, Compact (three node), or Single node (SNO), or all  
      Connected / Restricted Network  
      Architectures, e.g. x86_x64, ARM (aarch64), IBM Power (ppc64le), and IBM Z (s390x)  
      Operator compatibility  
      Backport needed (list applicable versions)  
      UI need (e.g. OpenShift Console, dynamic plugin, OCM)  
      Other (please specify)  

      Use Cases (Optional):

      As a cluster administrator, deploy all new ROKS Clusters using OpenShift's default OVN-Kubernetes networking plug-in with no appreciable loss of functionality, operation or security. 

      Questions to Answer (Optional):

      •  

      Out of Scope

      • Live or Limited Live Migration from the previous 3rd-party CNI plug-in to OVN-Kubernetes

      Background

      IBM ROKS has long standardized on a 3rd-party CNI implementation.  In that time, the OpenShift's default CNI, OVN-Kubernetes, has matured and today provides significant advantages.  In order to migrate to OVN-Kubernetes, ROKS has a set of feature and configuration requirements that remain in effect regardless of CNI, and need to be supported by OVN-Kubernetes.
