- Upon invocation of install, patch or update, it goes through series of steps
- It uploads the OS images, binary packages to the site (whatever is needed and if the versions are different from the site)
- It communicates with Cluster-API to talk to infra-local-controller Metal3 to prepare it for installation of basic operating system and utilities using Linux image. As part of this, it converts its local inventory information to CRs expected by Cluster-API.
- Keeps monitoring to ensure the compute nodes are installed with the OS and utilities.
- Then it communicates with BPM to talk to BPA to install binary packages.
- Once BPM provides status that all packages are installed successfully, it gets the kubeconfig of application-K8S.
- Then it invokes KPM to instantiate containerized packages.
- Once KPM indicates that all containerized packages are ready/complete, then it provides appropriate status to the user by updating the CR status.
