| A new field `propagateUserTags` is added in GA release version. The `experimentalPropagateUserTags` field will be deprecated. In future release versions, `experimentalPropagateUserTags` will be removed. | ||
| When both fields are set, `experimentalPropagateUserTags` takes precedence. | ||
| If the userTags field is changed post-install, there is no guarantee about how an in-cluster operator will respond to the change. Some operators may reconcile the change and change tags on the AWS resource. Some operators may ignore the change. However, if tags are removed from userTags, the tag will not be removed from the AWS resource. |

You moved this paragraph, but did you mean to remove it entirely (or perhaps keep it for historical reference, but mark it as outdated)? We've run into an obstacle with cluster-ingress-operator and cloud-provider-aws (see openshift/cluster-ingress-operator#1148 (comment)), so I want to understand whether (1) handling updates and (2) handling removals in particular are hard requirements or not.

In contrast to cluster-ingress-operator and cloud-provider-aws, I checked the behaviour with aws-load-balancer-operator#137, and it can update and remove the tags.
oc get infrastructures.config.openshift.io cluster -oyaml | yq .status.platformStatus

region: us-east-2
resourceTags:

value: plat-value2

So, there is a bit of inconsistency between upstream cloud-provider-aws and aws-load-balancer-controller on their way of handling tags.
From OpenShift (cluster-ingress-operator and aws-load-balancer-operator) side, I think we can only control
aws-load-balancer-additional-resource-tagsannotation forcluster-ingress-operator, and--default-tagscontainer arg foraws-load-balancer-operator
to propagate relevant tags to its consumers, which in this case are cloud-provider-aws and aws-load-balancer-controller, respectively. If we need to standardise the behaviour, then we might need to change the upstream logic.

Ah!, I think it is a residue of the initial version, thanks @Miciah. In summary, all redhat supported operators (in-cluster or day2) will reconcile the tags on resources created and managed by them. Removal of tag is not supported, as it'd intervene and remove the tags un-intentionally for tags added externally by the user, if any.

aws-load-balancer-controller provides a command line flag called --external-managed-tags through which a list of tag keys can be ignored to be reconciled by the controller.
xRef :
- https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/aws-load-balancer-controller/latest/deploy/configurations/
- add support for external-managed-tags & prefer defaultTags kubernetes-sigs/aws-load-balancer-controller#1970
external-managed-tags stringList AWS Tag keys that will be managed externally. Specified Tags are ignored during reconciliation
This means if a user wants to manage a tag externally, it has to be added in external-managed-tags list. If not, aws-load-balancer-controller will remove unsolicited tags, and apply tags defined in --default-tags.
@alebedev87 As I can see, aws-load-balancer-operator doesn't provide a field to specify ExternalManagedTags. Was there any discussion around this, or it's an existing gap?

| For the resources created and managed by hosted control plane, cluster api provider for aws reconciles the user tags on AWS resources. The hosted control plane updates the `infrastructure.config.openshift.io` resource to reflect new tags in `resourceTags`. The OpenShift operators, both core and non-core (managed by RedHat), reconcile the respective AWS resources created and managed by them. | ||
| Given that, there is no universal controller to update all resources created by OpenShift, the day2 updates of tags is not supported for standalone OpenShift deployments. |

What does it mean "not supported for standalone OpenShift deployments"? What will happen if a cluster admin changes resourceTags in infrastructure? Line 95 ("If the userTags field is changed post-install,") says it's going to be applied to the cloud objects.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
At present, in standalone Openshift deployments, the resourceTags in infrastructure is handled as immutable and not a supported operation. The userTags update is allowed for hcp usecases, where, hcp control plane updates the infrastructure status based on edits in hostedCluster and nodepool objects.
