cloud_provider value for unsupported CSP

I’d like to test the use of the BAF with Hyperledger Fabric on an IBM Cloud Kubernetes Cluster (IKS). However, the cloud_provider property in network.yaml only supports one of aws, azure, gcp or minikube. Is it possible to deploy BAF with Fabric to IKS if I leave this value blank?

Tips about adding cloud_provider for private k8s.

Notes:

• replace coollu with private or something, it’s just a enum value
• we use plain k8s sc, adjust as needed

you can define a new value for cloud_provider for IBM, and then you will have to update the code for the required storage class, and any other changes needed to support IBM Kubernetes cluster.
