Epic Goal

• We want to remove official support for UPI and IPI support for Alibaba Cloud provider. Going forward, we are recommending installations on Alibaba Cloud with either external platform or agnostic platform installation method.

Why is this important?

An elevator pitch (value statement) that describes the Feature in a clear, concise way.  Complete during New status.

We have decided to remove IPI and UPI support for Alibaba Cloud, which until recently has been in Tech Preview due to the following reasons:

(1) Low customer interest of using Openshift on Alibaba Cloud

(2) Removal of Terraform usage

(3) MAPI to CAPI migration

(4) CAPI adoption for installation (Day 1) in OpenShift 4.16 and Day 2 (post-OpenShift 4.16)

Scenarios
