Cisco ACI AIM OpenStack Platform 18 Operator

This repository contains the Kubernetes Operator for integrating Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) with OpenStack Platform 18 (OSP18) deployments. This operator aims to automate the deployment and management of the ACI Integration Module (AIM) within an OpenStack environment running on Openshift clusters

Deployment Steps

1. Apply Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs): First, apply the Custom Resource Definition for the CiscoACI kind. This tells Kubernetes about the new resource type the operator will manage.

   oc apply -f api.cisco.com_ciscoaciaims.yaml

2. Apply RBAC Permissions: Next, set up the necessary Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions for the operator. This includes a ClusterRole and a RoleBinding.

   oc apply -f ciscoaciaim-rbac.yaml

3. Create the Custom Resource (CR): Once the operator is running, create an instance of the CiscoACI custom resource. This custom resource defines the desired state of your ACI AIM integration. You will need to edit ciscoaciaim-cr.yaml to include your specific ACI and OpenStack configuration details (e.g., APIC IP addresses, credentials).

   oc apply -n openstack -f ciscoaciaim-cr.yaml

4. Deploy the Operator Bundle:
   Deploy the operator's deployment manifest. This manifest typically includes the operator's Deployment, Service Account, and other necessary components. Ensure that the image specified within aim_bundle_deployment.yaml points to the correct pre-built operator image in your container registry.

   oc apply -f aim_bundle_deployment.yaml
