Epic Goal

• Eliminate 50k limit on ManifestWork for complex add-ons
  Community issue:https://github.com/open-cluster-management-io/addon-framework/issues/116

Why is this important?

• Unable to deploy more complex add ons that exceed 50k limit.

Scenarios

1. The current add-on framework creates a single ManifestWork that includes all the resources the add on requires to run in the managed clusters.

There is a 50k limit on the size of a ManifestWork resource set here which creates a problem when attempting to deploy more complex add ons , that define many resources. A single CRDs can easily exceed 50k on it's own - for example kustomizations.kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io is 60k.

Suggestion is to make the limit on a single ManifestWork configurable (primarily for large CRDs or ConfigMaps) AND update the addon controller to create a ManifestWork per resource (or similar) rather than bundling them all together into a single ManifestWork.
