Epic Goal

• The goal of this epic is to ensure that operators can be installed and uninstalled with commands from the kubectl operator plugin that rely on the cluster having the operator controller installed.

Why is this important?

• Providing a kubectl plugin that simplifies the install and uninstall process provides the user with a first class experience when managing operators.

Scenarios

1. I want to install an operator using the kubectl operator plugin.
2. I have installed an operator using the Operator API and now wish to uninstall it using the kubectl operator plugin.

Acceptance Criteria

• CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated.
• Kubectl operator plugin can install an operators by creating an Operator CR.
• Kubectl operator plugin can uninstall an operator by deleting an Operator CR.

Upstream Issues:

Open questions:

1. Should CRDs be removed by default, which can potentially result in dataloss for services deployed on the cluster.
   • We have decided that deleting an Operator CR deletes the associated CRD.
