Description

• Add a HostNetworkConfigurationScore responsible to configure bonds and port-channels for each host provided
• Install the NMState Operator to configure bonds on the host
• Use our Brocade switch client to setup the switch stack and configure the port channels on the switch

The overall algorithm of the HostNetworkConfigurationScore is the following:

1. Run the initial setup to configure the Switch stack. This call should be idempotent so that it only configures what's needed, without breaking existing configurations
2. For each host
   2.1. Find all the ports on the switch for each interfaces (by their MAC Address)
   2.2. Configure the bond on the host (using the NMState operator)
   2.3. Configure the port-channel on the switch (using our Brocade Switch Client)

Architecture decisions

• The NMState Operator was the easiest and recommended way to configure the network on a cluster K8s About NMState Operator
• Running the HostNetworkConfigurationScore on the same host should always produce the same result and preserve as much as possible existing configurations (so it doesn't break anything)
