Today, if you need to deploy an SW service on k8s you have to first build the image somewhere (CI, locally) and then create either a KogitoRuntime or KogitoSource (if targeting an event-driven scenario).

The idea is to have a similar approach to what we already have with kogito CLI + Operator where we push the SW source file, use s2i to build the service and have it deployed.

Instead, we will skip the building part and have the BPMN runner take over in the already deployed service. This service will consume the workflow model and offer an entry point to receive requests to run the workflow.

This Jira is to track the research task around this new feature, then we can create follow-up tasks to implement the feature.
