Cluster CAPI Operator

The Cluster CAPI Operator manages the installation of the CAPI Operator and the provider resources that it requires.

Controllers

• ClusterOperator Controller

When the featuregate is DevPreviewNoUpgrade

1. Install the CAPI Operator
2. Install all the supported provider configmaps
3. Install the CoreProvider and InfractureProvider CRs (with image overrides)

Updating manifests and assets

• Import capi-operator and provider manifests:

  $ make import-assets

This command does 2 main things:

1. get capi-operator configuration and moves the rbac resources to /manifests/ whilst placing the remainder in /assets/capi-operator/ It also replaces the default rbac with a smaller subset.
2. use clusterctl to get the provider resources a. convert from cert-manager to service-ca b. place provider rbac resources in /manifests c. place all other resources in /assets/providers as configmaps (to be consumed by capi-operator)

To update the version of a provider, edit hack/import-assets/provider-versions.json and bump the versions as required.
