Task: Refactor ESO deployment to proper gitops-template setup #367
Description
Understand the Task
Description
Currently the ExternalSecrets Operator is installed using the bootstrapper. This is done without a proper gitops-template.
The result from this is, that the fluxCD setup does not manages the ESO deployment which is not ideal and we should not do as flux should manage every component which is installed.
We need to refactor the implementation of the eso installation in the bootstrapper to use a proper gitops-template and put everything for the ESO deployment into the "environments" repo which is created from the bootstrapper.
The reason why it was not done in the first place seemed to be, that we want to have a proper PlatformService in the future for ESO. As the timeline is not clear, I would highly suggest we still switch to a proper flux setup, as this prevents complexity.
