Do not template non-gateway resources if multicluster is running in gateway mode

[RGPosadas]

What problem are you trying to solve?

#13269 introduces further support for federated services.
The PR modifies the helm chart to add manifests related to local-service-mirror. However, if you are running multicluster in default hierarchical mode, these manifests do not need to be templated/created since they are unused.

How should the problem be solved?

I see two options:

• Introduce a new toggle to enable the new local service mirror for federated services
• Use existing toggle gateway.enabled to prevent templating of local-service-mirror manifests if false

Any alternatives you've considered?

N/A, the concern is only related to helm templating.

That's a good find 👍 Note however that we're considering re-purposing that particular workload in an upcoming multicluster refactoring, so let's keep this one on hold to avoid wasting any efforts 🙂

@alpeb Hi, thanks for the update. Apologies I got to this considerable late.
Where can I track the multicluster refactor?

[alpeb]

The multicluster refactor didn't finally have an impact in this particular aspect. But we're open to this feature request, would just be a matter of guarding the local service mirror related manifests as you suggest, with a new propertly. Note however that this shouldn't be associated with gateway.enabled, as that pertains the target cluster, not the local one.
