I have a customer that is assessing different options for their Hosted Control Planes Architecture, I am trying to understand the possibilities and limitations that come with using FDF on a hosting Cluster in provider mode where it is exposed to the different Hosted Control Planes/ Tenant Clusters.

As far as I understand, If we deploy FDF in provider mode then different hosted clusters can consume this storage as if FDF is an external storage solution and there is no dependency on the native kubevirt-csi driver that is automatically deployed on each hosted cluster.

My question, can I also expose FDF in provider mode to other classic standalone OpenShift Clusters that are not hosted control planes?
