Story (Required)

As a developer using the software templates for AI, I would like my catalog entries that are deployed to RHOAI, include a link to RHOAI for quick and easy access.

Background (Required)

Currently, when deploying software templates to RHOAI, there is no option that displays the RHOAI dashboard to the user, like it does for the source and gitops git repositories. It would be nice if it included a link to the RHOAI

The problem is that the template.yaml has no way to query the Kubernetes API. We must write a custom backstage action (https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-templates/writing-custom-actions/) that pulls in the Kubernetes plugin, and queries the "rhods-dashboard" route URL in the redhat-ods-applications namespace. The action should then output the dashboard URL, so that it can be displayed when the catalog is deployed.

Out of scope

<Defines what is not included in this story>

Approach (Required)

• Create backstage action that queries the RHOAI dashboard route and outputs it
• Run the action in the software template when deploying to RHOAI
• Retrieve the route URL from the action and display it to the user.
