Description

Currently the only supported way to install VPP is via Calico operator.
There used to be a support previously to install via manifest as well, please bring that support back.

There are few kustomize example, may be this can be added as kustomize example as well. e.g. in my case to make it work.
I took base calico.yaml base manifest and applied two patches.
1- configmap patch to update the dataplane_options.
2- calico-node patch to update ENV. https://github.com/tigera/operator/blob/master/pkg/render/node.go. Thanks @sknat for the help on slack.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the base calico.yaml manifest and the existing kustomize examples, then compare the operator path with the referenced pkg/render/node.go entry point. Restore a manifest-based installation path that supports the dataplane_options ConfigMap and calico-node environment changes, and provide a working kustomize example demonstrating it.
