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

• 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)

• 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.
