AWS Load Balancer Operator in OKD

    The AWS Load Balancer Operator can tag the public subnets if the kubernetes.io/role/elb tag is missing. Also, the AWS Load Balancer Operator detects the following from the underlying AWS cloud:

    • The ID of the virtual private cloud (VPC) on which the cluster hosting the Operator is deployed in.
