Goal

To convert the generation of OLMv1 manifests from Kustomize to Helm. This should be accomplished within 1 release cycle (e.g. 4.21).

Benefit Hypothesis:

The primary benefit will be an enhanced OLM developer experience. It will be easier to maintain the manifests source. It will also provide consistency in the configuration, and minimize the number of places a change needs to be made.

It will also allow for "on-the-fly" changes to the manifests based on TechPreviewNoUpgrade, DevPreviewNoUpgrade and CustomNoUpgrade configurations, to match the provided feature-gates.

Resources

See Issue Links for reference document.

Responsibilities

The OLM team will be responsible for implementation, debugging and testing.

Success Criteria

Other than small necessary changes, and the consistency changes (with respect to common annotations and labels), the resulting manifest should be identical to the original. OLMv1 should be able to run upstream and in the OpenShift environment.

The configuration should also be malleable based on the feature-flags present in some OpenShift releases (TPNU, DPNU, CNU).
