Reference
This feature is related to the long-term initiative presented in previous meetings:

The main purpose of the initiative is to use well known CRDs for new southbound operations (K8s clusters, PaaS/IaaS components, serverless workflows, Cluster API), relying on existing open source solutions such as Crossplane, FluxCD, ArgoCD, etc. These south-bound operations will be properly modeled and abstracted by OSM, which will provide a convenient user-facing modelling.
Description
This feature proposes the update of the VIM account registration in OSM, so that, in addition to the current registration, an additional workflow is followed so that the VIM account credentials are registered in the management cluster with FluxCD, and can therefore be used to interact with that specific VIM or cloud.
Demo or definition of done
All existing tests including a VIM registration in OSM must pass. In addition, a robot test must be created or updated so that it checks that the credentials have been registered in the management cluster with FluxCD.
