Feature: Add Oracle Edge Cloud platform support for OpenShift provisioning

[kaovilai]

Feature request

Add support for provisioning and managing OpenShift Container Platform clusters on Oracle Edge Cloud via ocpctl.

Background

OpenShift 4.21 features official support for installer-provisioned infrastructure (IPI) on Oracle Edge Cloud. Enabling this in ocpctl would make the project a complete multi-cloud lifecycle solution and benefit customers adopting Oracle Edge Cloud for distributed edge workloads.

Desired behavior

• Oracle Edge Cloud appears as a selectable platform in the ocpctl API and web UI.
• Cluster profile definitions for Oracle Edge Cloud are available in profile definitions.
• Support for install-config rendering and infrastructure handlers tailored for Edge Cloud requirements (regions, security domains, node types).
• Credential management and validation for Oracle Edge Cloud.
• Automated resource cleanup for Edge Cloud environments.
• Cost estimation and appropriate platform documentation included.
• Documentation for prerequisites and supported scenarios/regions.

References

• OpenShift 4.21 docs: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.21/html/installing_on_oracle_edge_cloud/index

Impact

• Extends ocpctl's OpenShift platform support to distributed edge clouds.
• Addresses regulated, telco, and geographically distributed use cases.
