Enhancements for Release Priorities

Prioritized Merged Changes

<PR ID>: (activity this week / total activity) summary

There was 1 Prioritized Merged pull request:

• 1202: (3/229) storage: STOR-962: Update storage operators for HyperShift (jsafrane) (STOR-962)

  This enhancement describes how OCP storage components will run in HyperShift's managed control plane and in the guest cluster.

  The components currently are:

  • cluster-csi-snapshot-controller-operator and its operand, csi-snapshot-controller.
  • cluster-storage operator and its operand aws-ebs-csi-driver-operator and its operand AWS EBS CSI driver.
    • All other CSI driver operators + CSI drivers should follow the same approach, AWS EBS is just the first one to run its control plane in HyperShift's management cluster.

Prioritized New Changes

<PR ID>: (activity this week / total activity) summary

There was 1 Prioritized New pull request:

• 1239: (69/69) installer: Installer: Feature Sets (patrickdillon) (CORS-2253)

  approved, priority/important-soon

  This enhancement proposes adding support for feature sets to openshift-install. Users would be able to enable feature sets at install time. The Installer would support all feature sets in the OpenShift API, and write the selected Feature Set to the cluster.

There were 2 Prioritized Active pull requests:

• 1237: (67/92) microshift: Add MicroShift Default CSI Plugin proposal (copejon) (USHIFT-41)

  priority/important-soon

  This enhancement proposes the adoption of a default Container Storage Interface(CSI) Pluginfor Microshift. For more details on MicroShift, see the respective proposal. Kubernetes' CSI implementation provides a standardized model for exposing block and file storage systems to container workloads.

• 918: (5/252) installer: vsphere: add multiple datacenter and clusters (jcpowermac) (SPLAT-320)

  priority/important-soon

  The goal of this enhancement is to provide the ability to install in a vSphere environment with multiple datacenters and clusters.

  This will be an opinionated design, the vCenter datacenter will always be a region and a vCenter cluster will always be a zone.

There were 4 Other Merged pull requests:

• 1205: (12/130) console: Created enhancement doc to customize perspectives (lokanandaprabhu) (ODC-5897)

  OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) web console provides two perspectives: Administrator and Developer. The Developer perspective provides workflows specific to developer use cases like create, deploy and monitor applications, while Administrator perspective is responsible for managing the cluster resources, users, and projects.

  This document provides details about how cluster administrator can hide user perspectives.

  

• 1206: (20/141) console: Enhancement doc to customize catalogs and sub-catalogs (lokanandaprabhu) (ODC-6695)

  The OpenShift Console provides a "Developer Catalog" which enables the user to create apps and services based on Operator backed services, helm charts, templates, etc.

  Cluster administrators can provide additional catalog types via console plugins, for example by installing an operator. These catalog types extend the catalog with additional items and are also available as "sub-catalogs".

  Some customers want to hide specific types from the catalog or the sub-catalog to streamline their development process without uninstalling a complete operator or disabling the complete console plugin.

  In the developer catalog the sub-catalogs are shown as types. The developer catalog shows items from all sub-catalogs. When user selects a sub-catalog, they can see a list of available items from this sub-catalog to install.

  This enhancement allows cluster admins to selectively disable a sub-catalog and all links to the specific sub-catalog. The developer catalog will also hide any of the items from this sub-catalog.
