Goals

Create a stand-alone operator  to deploy korrel8r as a service in an openshift cluster, with a defaut configuration to connect to all available default stores.

Upstream issue: https://github.com/korrel8r/korrel8r/issues/54

CRD Spec should use types from https://github.com/korrel8r/korrel8r/blob/main/pkg/config/types.go

CRD status should report errors in configuration and connecting to stores.

Non-Goals

Nothing special

Motivation

Need to install korrel8r independently, it interacts with many other components.

May become part of a future "observability operator" when that is defined.

Alternatives

None known

Acceptance Criteria

• Deploy korrel8r from operatorhub
• Provide deployment configuration to connect to
  • Default lokistack for logs
  • Openshift prometheus
  • Openshift alert manager
  • ... others when supported by korrel8r
• If some stores are not available, korrel8r should function but warn in its status.

Risk and Assumptions

Nothing special

Documentation Considerations

• Doc for korrel8r itself, based on upstream doc: https://korrel8r.github.io/korrel8r
• CRD self-documentation and OperatorHub doc in API comments
• Documentation of default configuration (can we make this a self-documented "required resource" on operatorhub?)

Open Questions

What are the appropriate service accounts and roles for korrel8r itself and for korrel8r clients? Provides access to wide range of observability data.
