Steps to manually approve/upgrade the operators (with other deployment engine/tools) should be available

Every organization may not use automatic approval plans for the operators. So, steps to manually approve/upgrade the operators (with other deployment engine/tools) should be available. When primary operators are approved manually, then its secondary operators should also get approved automatically. In addition, following requirements should be considered:

  1. All Operator/CRD MUST be installed explicitly.

  2. NO Operator/CRD MUST install automatically install another Operators/CRD

  3. All Operator/CRD MUST be pinned by to version i.e., no automatic mode.

  4. NO wildcards in Kubernetes RBAC are allowed.

  5. NO custom OpenShift would be allowed.

    All Operator/CRD MUST be installed explicitly

    Operators and CRDs are implicitly installed via OLM and the explicit creation of subscriptions, which result in installplans etc. We don't look at it as the installer's job to set up operators and CRDs, but rather to set up subscriptions, and allow OLM to deal with the rest. That's just how OLM works. In the cases where we manually install CRDs/operators in our automation, it's only when there is no operator catalog carrying the necessary package available. Is there a specific thing that you have seen happening that has caused this feedback?

    NO Operator/CRD MUST install automatically install another Operators/CRD

    No Maximo operator will do this, however OLM does. e.g. a subscription to the ibm-mas operator package will result in two operators being installed in the namespace - IBM Maximo Application Suite Core Operator, and IBM Truststore Manager Operator. This is a fundamental feature of operator lifecycle manager (OLM).

    All Operator/CRD MUST be pinned by to version i.e., no automatic mode

    Every Maximo operator is versioned with semantic versioning, a new version will only ever be delivered via OLM, usually when the customer updates from one catalog to the next and this introduces an update on the currently subscribed channel, but also if the user changes the subscription channel.

    NO wildcards in Kubernetes RBAC are allowed

    Agreed, this is standard IBM policy. If anything is using a wildcard it's a bug

    NO custom OpenShift would be allowed.

    I don't understand this request, can you elaborate please?
