Goal: 

• Propose a way to get a custom OpenStackProvisionServer allowing to compose any RHEL version for the compute nodes
• Expose the relevant resources in the examples repository

Acceptance Criteria:

Propose way forward & create tasks for 

• An OpenStackProvisionServer is created, allowing to provision any RHEL version on the compute nodes
• a custom pipeline shows how to leverage that new service
• Reusing an existing image or deployment

Open questions

• Do we really need to create a custom CR for OpenStackProvisionServer?
  • Not necessarly
• Can't we directly use the "image" parameter provided by the BareMetalHost spec (https://doc.crds.dev/github.com/metal3-io/baremetal-operator/metal3.io/BareMetalHost/v1alpha1#spec-image)
  • No, it gets overridden
