This change adds a new annotation,
netoperator.vmware.com/nsx-network-configuration, to indicate that when a NamespaceNetworkConfiguration is created with provider typensx-tier1and this annotation is set, theNSXNetworkConfigurationthat is referenced will be taken over ownership by the LCM controller of thisNamespaceNetworkConfiguration, instead of the default flow of constructing our own, new,NSXNetworkConfiguration.The intention of this is to handful brownfield cases where Net Operator should start to take ownership of network contracts, but previous Supervisors already maintain a
NSXNetworkConfigurationthat was previously LCM'd elsewhere.Constraints:
CREATEof theNamespaceNetworkConfiguration, when provider type isnsx-tier1.NamespaceNetworkConfigurationbecomes source-of-truth, and the spec of the associatedNSXNetworkConfigurationwill become reconciled to reflect the state of the existingNamespaceNetworkConfiguration.Validations will be managed in Net Operator.
