Enable External Registration of IKS Workers as VPC NLB Pool Members
## Summary VPC Network Load Balancers (NLB) currently only accept pool members identified by VPC instance `id` , `href` , or `crn` . IKS worker nodes are not exposed as standard VPC instances through the VPC Instance API, making it i...
Self-Service Identity Provider Configuration for ROKS HCP: Provide an ibmcloud oc CLI command (and Terraform resource parameter) to configure OpenID Connect identity providers on ROKS Hosted Control Plane clusters
ROKS clusters using the Hosted Control Plane (HyperShift) architecture manage authentication through the HostedCluster object on IBM's management plane. The OpenShift OAuth CR on the data plane is read-only — a ValidatingAdmissionPolicy blocks all...
Enable NVIDIA GPU time-slicing and MIG on IBM Cloud IKS GPU worker pools
Who would benefit from it? Straker operates multiple few-billion-parameter custom models and is evaluating IBM Cloud IKS as a hosting platform for these workloads. Straker would directly benefit from GPU-sharing capabilities that improve utilizati...
Provide an ibmcloud oc CLI command (and Terraform resource parameter) to configure a custom trusted CA bundle on ROKS Hosted Control Plane clusters
ROKS clusters using the Hosted Control Plane (HyperShift) architecture manage the cluster proxy configuration through the HostedCluster object on IBM's management plane. The Proxy CR on the data plane is read-only — a ValidatingAdmissionPolicy blo...
Request to increase etcd storage size from 6 GB to 8 GB for ROKS cluster
Problem Statement: The etcd storage limit on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud (ROKS) is capped at 6 GB. For certain deployments with high resource density, this limit is insufficient.Proposed Solution: Allow increasing the etcd storage to at least 8...
Enable control plane metrics for hosted control planes (4.22)
Openshift hosted control planes 4.22 supports forwarding control plane metrics so they can be seen from the hosted cluster - https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.22/html/hosted_control_planes/hcp-observability#hc...
Expand the supported version skew between the control plane and worker nodes.
Upgrading worker node versions in ROKS requires substantial operational effort.OpenShift supports an N-2 version skew, and we would like IBM Cloud ROKS to support the same level of version skew. (IBM Cloud ROKS supports only an N‑1 version skew no...
On HyperShift (ROKS) clusters, the KubeletConfig CRD is not available on the data plane. The Machine Config Operator runs in the hosted control plane, and kubelet configuration is managed through NodePool settings rather than KubeletConfig resourc...
Officially support and document existing feature to protect LBs from auto deletion by service annotation
We got following response from support: "As far as creating a new annotation to disable deletion of the associated VPC LB resource, that support has already been done. There is an undocumented annotation that has already been created. This annotat...
Allow Customers to Pin Minor Fixpack Version in Openshift in IBM Cloud Satellite
When you upgrade Openshift in IBM Cloud Satellite, the latest fixpack is always applied and the customer has no way to 'pin' or specify the minor fixpack version fixpack version. This could be a problem for us because we generally upgrade our nonp...
