Creation of a new MAPO (Machine API Provider OpenStack) component which:

• Implements the OpenShift Machine Controller
• Defers as much functionality as possible to the upstream CAPO (Cluster API Provider OpenStack) project
• Imports CAPO as a library
• Implements type conversion between Machine API and Cluster API for OpenStack components.

This will be DEVELOPER PREVIEW. We define developer preview as:

• The feature can be built
• The feature can be tested
• The feature supports at least basic functionality
• There is no support, and the feature will not be included in the product
• There will not be feature parity with the existing downstream CAPO

As part of this work we will:

• document functionality which needs to be ported to upstream CAPO
• ensure test coverage of the features which are implemented
• implement a periodic CI job
