@fgharo I started a quick PR here to capture some of the efforts you guys made to get the AI Accelerator working with IBM cloud.

Would love for you follow up here and bring back over some of the other changes.

I see in your fork you did have some additional items like needing specific operator-group names for things like the GPU operator. We may consider just updating those names in the base folders since it doesn't really matter what the name is in other clusters.

I don't think we need to have a new IBM cloud cluster example available at this point, but getting some of the base config stuff captured here would be a great start for the next engagement we have to handle on IBM cloud.

We could potentially test with this demo environment:

Trevor I tried testing this on the demo link you suggested. However, the cluster it comes with is of version 4.15 and ibmcloud requires atleast Openshift 4.16 as seen by the error I got when I attempted the installation please see below cli output.

$ ibmcloud oc cluster addon enable openshift-ai \
    --cluster rhpds \
    --param oaiInstallPlanApproval=Automatic \
    --param oaiCodeflare=Managed \
    --param oaiKserve=Managed \
    --param nvidiaCudaTest=true \
    --param pipelineEnabled=true \
    --param nvidiaEnablecatd=true \
    --param nfdEnabled=true
Enabling add-on openshift-ai for cluster rhpds...

FAILED
The 'openshift-ai' add-on is not supported on clusters that run version 4.15.51. The supported version range is >=4.16.0 <4.18.0. Create or update your cluster to a supported version for the add-on and try again. To review version migration actions, see 'http://ibm.biz/iks-versions' for Kubernetes or 'https://ibm.biz/roks-versions' for OpenShift. (E3419)

To see the add-on versions that are supported for your cluster version, run 'ibmcloud ks addon-versions'.

Incident ID: 2e1245cc-925f-4c4e-9fec-329ebaded231

I tried upgrading the version but my user does not have the type of access to upgrade the Openshift cluster. Please see the following screenshot.

Nevertheless, I went ahead and still validated that the rest of the operators were able to be deployed on the cluster. Please see following screenshot.

Finally, I know you wanted this completely in yaml however the ibm folks said that is not possible and I either have to use the ui or the ibmcloud oc cluster addon enable openshift-ai... above. Please see the following screenshot.

I added some of this information to the bootstrap/overlays/rhoai-eus-2.16-ibmcloud-gpu/README.md file.

@fgharo just to get clear idea: is the slack comment from IBM final blocker that renders this effort not mergable or we are waiting for improvement from IBM cloud side?
