Project Gardener implements the automated management and operation of Kubernetes clusters as a service. Its main principle is to leverage Kubernetes concepts for all of its tasks.
Recently, most of the vendor specific logic has been developed in-tree. However, the project has grown to a size where it is very hard to extend, maintain, and test. With GEP-1 we have proposed how the architecture can be changed in a way to support external controllers that contain their very own vendor specifics. This way, we can keep Gardener core clean and independent.

An example for a ControllerRegistration
resource that can be used to register this controller to Gardener can be found here.
Please find more information regarding the extensibility concepts and a detailed proposal here.
How to start using or developing this extension controller locally
You can run the controller locally on your machine by executing make start-provider-openstack
.
Static code checks and tests can be executed by running VERIFY=true make all
. We are using dep for Golang package dependency management and Ginkgo/Gomega for testing.
