Design 1

This was based on an early chat with Eduardo about operator design. I had no idea what I was doing! We decided to go for a simple design:

  • Flux: would have a CR that defines a job and exposes an entrypoint command / container to the user

  • FluxSetup would have most of the content of here and be more of an internal or admin setup.

To generate FluxSetup I think I could (maybe?) have run this command again, but instead I added a new entry to the PROJECT and then generated api/v1alpha1/fluxsetup_types.go from the flux_types.go (and changing all the references from Flux to FluxSetup). I also needed to (manually) make controllers/fluxsetup_controller.go (no longer exists) and ensure it was updated to use FluxSetup, and then adding it’s creation to main.go. Yes, this is a bit of manual work, but I think I’ll only need to do it once. At this point, I needed to try and represent what I saw in the various config files in this types file.
