Trident: Backend CRD?

[stobias123]

Describe the solution you'd like
Native backend setup via trident operator

I just set up the new trident operator in hopes that I could set up trident natively in k8s. I was disappointed to find I still have to use tridentctl to finish trident setup. This is outside the workflow of all other k8s operations.

Please create/provide a tridentbackend crd, and let the operator manage tridentctl operations related to backend initialization.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None available.

I agree, exposing some option to configure Backends/StorageClasses through the operator would be nice to have.

Here's an example of another operator that 'wraps' the trident-operator to do this currently: https://github.com/sgryczan/TridentInstaller

@stobias123, this is being tracked in issue #358 and we are currently working on solving this. Closing #424 as a duplicate.
