    Description

      *USER STORY:*
      As a openshift engineer, I want to enable stealclock.enable extra config so that a RHCOS guest on vSphere properly indicates when the processor is being purposely starved of CPU.

      *ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:*

      • Add extra config to terraform in the installer
      • Add extra config in MAO
      • Add extra config to terraform in the installer's upi example

      *ENGINEERING DETAILS:*

      https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/20/1030

      Steal time is the amount of CPU time needed by a guest
      virtual machine that is not provided by the host. Steal
      time occurs when the host allocates this CPU time
      elsewhere: for example, to another guest.

      Steal time can be enabled by adding VM configuration option
      stealclock.enable = "TRUE". It is supported by VMs that run
      hardware version 13 or newer.
