Outcome Overview

As a result of Hashicorp's license change to BSL, Red Hat OpenShift needs to remove the use of Hashicorp's Terraform from the installer – specifically for IPI deployments which currently use Terraform for setting up the infrastructure.

Success Criteria

The Installer no longer contains or uses Terraform.

Expected Results (what, how, when)

• For IPI installers that use Terraform, have a plan for how we will remove the Terraform dependency.
• For short/near term, have a remediation plan how to address CVEs till we can remove Terraform dependency.
• For short/near term, top/popular IPI installers should no longer depend on using Terraform, e.g. vSphere, AWS, Baremetal, Azure; alternate method used must provide parity to existing IPI installer features that uses Terraform.
• For long term, IPI installer should no longer depend on using Terraform but have an alternate method that allows similar capability to existing IPI installer, with a path to gracefully (and hopefully seamlessly) transition/migrate from the existing IPI installer --> short/near term method (optional) --> long term method which does not rely on Terraform.
