Procedure

1. Create the openstack-operators namespace for the RHOSP operators:

   $ cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Namespace
   metadata:
     name: openstack-operators
   spec:
     finalizers:
     - kubernetes
   EOF

2. Create the OperatorGroup CR in the openstack-operators namespace:

   $ cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
   apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
   kind: OperatorGroup
   metadata:
     name: openstack
     namespace: openstack-operators
   EOF

3. Create the Subscription CR that subscribes to openstack-operator:

   $ cat << EOF| oc apply -f -
   apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
   kind: Subscription
   metadata:
     name: openstack-operator
     namespace: openstack-operators
   spec:
     name: openstack-operator
     channel: stable-v1.0
     source: redhat-operators
     sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace
     installPlanApproval: Manual
   EOF

4. Wait for the install plan to be created:

   $ oc get installplan -n openstack-operators -o json | jq -r '.items[] | select(.spec.approval=="Manual" and .spec.approved==false) | .metadata.name' | head -n1

5. Approve the install plan:

   $ oc patch installplan <install_plan_name> -n openstack-operators --type merge -p '{"spec":{"approved":true}}'

6. Verify that the OpenStack Operator is installed:

   $ oc wait csv -n openstack-operators \
    -l operators.coreos.com/openstack-operator.openstack-operators="" \
    --for jsonpath='{.status.phase}'=Succeeded

7. Create an instance of the openstack-operator:

   $ cat << EOF | oc apply -f -
   apiVersion: operator.openstack.org/v1beta1
   kind: OpenStack
   metadata:
     name: openstack
     namespace: openstack-operators
   EOF

8. Confirm that the Openstack Operator is deployed:

   $ oc wait openstack/openstack -n openstack-operators --for condition=Ready --timeout=500s
