[Investigation] Install OC binary to manage OpenShift environment
0%
Description
oc is the CLI tool that allows managing an OpenShift clusters.
However, it's not publicly available and it can only be downloaded from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/290, which requires an account registered (no payment needed).
This will download a tarball oc-4.9.22-linux.tar.gz, that after extracting it contains 2 binaries and a README.
$ ls -lh oc-4.9.22-linux
total 479992

-rwxr-xr-x@ 2 jlausuch staff 117M Feb 14 10:58 oc
The tool of our interest here is just oc, we can get kubectl by other ways.
The idea is to investigate how we could to get this binary from other trusted sources without a registered RH account (if possible) and install it at runtime during the tests or in our Public Cloud helper VM.
Another possibility is to create a project in IBS and push that binary and keep it up to date with new updates, but that might require manual intervention, and still, a RH account to download the binary.
