      USER PROBLEM

      In an OpenShift deployment, users have no obvious way to discover where the RHACS endpoint is. The endpoint URL is needed, among other cases, when setting up a pipeline integration task. 

      The canonical discovery mechanism in OpenShift is the application launcher on the console bar (the 3x3 matrix icon). Users are (presumably) trained to look for services there so this is considered common practice for an Operator.

      Today, because this is missing, users need to follow the installation docs, and  go to Networking->Routes to find out the URL.

      Can we please add this step to our operator implementation?

      Documentation is here: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.10/web_console/customizing-the-web-console.html#creating-custom-links_customizing-web-console

      In short, we'd need to create an apiVersion: console.openshift.io/v1 kind: ConsoleLink CR that contains the URL of the ACS console.

      What conditions need to exist for a user to be affected? Is it everyone? Is it only those with a specific integration? Is it specific to someone with particular database content? etc.
