OKE support (for workload clusters)

[MPV]

Does CAPOCI already come with OKE support (for workload clusters), or are there any plans for it?

Hi Victor,
we have it in plan but would love to know more about your use-case if you could share and we can prioritise as necessary.

The idea would be to rent the control-plane instead of the cognitive load/overhead/cost of managing it oneself.

Sticking with ClusterAPI (over Terraform/Crossplane etc) would enable consistency across clusters and their management for those using CAPI for different providers.

For comparison, check out CABPE (Cluster API bootstrap provider EKS):

Investigation issue #110

[shyamradhakrishnan]

@MPV we have a proposal here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/10aDgpZk7OLswVV5e0cIK9GXuckEOQfsT1-MkQDk5X_k and is working on an implementation
Please review if possible, please note OKE cannot import any node into a cluster, so both control plane and machines(via nodepool) will have to be used.
