Ability to customize annotations on the ACE IntegrationRuntime deployment resource

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We have been running ACE, MQ & API Connect on CP4I LTS release (and now on SC-2) on Openshift on Azure Cloud since 5 years now.

We have a Tekon pipeline that is used to upgrade ACE image (we create our own image from the ACE image in the IBM Entitled Registry) periodically. However each time the image (we use a common imagestream name and tag so that we do not have to modify the image name in Github/ArgoCD apps) is updated, the ACE IntegrationServers/IntegrationRuntimes need to be patched to initiate a new rollout manually.

Ideally on Openshift you could create a Deployment object and tell it to rollout new pod when image or imagestream changes by setting an annotation called "image.openshift.io/triggers", the problem is that the ACE IntegrationServer/IntegrationRuntime does not allow this today, it would be great if this was fixed.

Please ensure that the fix is implemented not just in the CD, but also in the current SC-2 (formerly called LTS) release.

    Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request which we are moving to Future Consideration status. It is likely that like other new capability features, in the first instance we would look to deliver this via the Continuous Delivery stream (as opposed to the SC-2 release stream which is more aimed at customers wanting maintenance and reliability as opposed to new features). Regarding the feature suggestion itself, one of the challenges around supporting this would be how to support version changes. For simple image rebuilds it may be possible, but when the version of ACE is changing within the source image then it would also require additional changes to the CR to change the spec.version in addition to the image fields. We would need to do some research into OpenShift features to support this at the time of implementation. Status updated to Future Consideration for now.
