Description

The "installation" of fabric-operator to a Kubernetes cluster involves little more than the registration of the operator CRD types to the Kube API controller.

Highlight this feature by installing the operator to a target namespace, using a single `kubectl` (or kustomization overlay) and a network URL. A great reference of this feature is action can be found at the Argo Workflows [Quick Start Guide](https://argoproj.github.io/argo-workflows/quick-start/), illustrating how a multi-component configuration can easily be applied to a cluster with a single copy/paste command block for common deployment targets.

Emulate Argo's 'manifest-based' installations, providing a "one click" activity to realize a Fabric base layer on a target Kubernetes. Effectively Argo is generating the output of `kustomization` builds, and storing the outputs of the kustomization in revision control. Not only is this technique an incredibly nice accelerator for new start projects, but it sets the basis for a revision-and-change management strategy for the operator as a "platform."

Note that this applies only to starting the operator, console, RBAC permissions to a target namespace only, and a parallel Nginx for ingress. No configuration of a Fabric network is required - just get everything in order for users to start constructing networks with ansible, kubectl/CRDs, or the Console GUI.

Common deployment targets / manifests include:

- EKS
- IKS
- localhost with KIND
- localhost with Rancher / k3s
- localhost with minikube

Research direction

Start with the Argo Workflows Quick Start Guide linked in the issue, then inspect the operator's existing kustomization and manifest structure. Done means the operator, console, namespace-scoped RBAC, and parallel Nginx ingress can be installed for the listed Kubernetes targets through a single kubectl URL or kustomization overlay, without configuring a Fabric network.
