[PoC] [IPAM] IPAM integration in the Elemental Operator #756

Closed fgiudici closed 1 month ago

fgiudici commented 2 months ago

Introduce support to IPAM integration in the Elemental Operator. This requires:

adding IP address templating in the Elemental Registration
Elemental Operator retrieval of an IP address from the IPAM provider in place of the registering host (during registration) and send it to the host during the registration phase
the elemental-register binary should take care of the IP address configuration during the OS installation

@fgiudici I'd like to keep this issue open and it's still in progress. I started working on the 2 linked PRs to refactor them to nmstate, I have the feeling we can't really claim this issue until we have something that works and supports all the corner cases.

Closing this issue as we are happy with our PoC.
