Epic Goal

• Implement an option of switching to Flannel CNI driver instead of OVN in MicroShift
• After performing the switch, Flannel next version introduced a kernel module dependency
• Need to pick another CNI without that dependency

Why is this important?

• Provides for a simpler and less resource consuming implementation of CNI
• Does not require kernel modules (i.e. openvswitch for OVN) to operate, so it can potentially be used on Windows in WSL environment.

Scenarios

1. Run MicroShift in the container using bootc image for Podman Desktop on Mac on existing podman environment.
2. Run MicroShift in the container using bootc image for Podman Desktop on Windows on existing podman environment.

Acceptance Criteria

• CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated
