2. Applied the new KVService type cr, and noticed the trigger on the controller:

sgontla@sgk8s:~/specs$ cat kvservice.yaml
apiVersion: enterprise.splunk.com/v4
kind: KVService
metadata:
  name: kvservice-demo
spec: {}

3. Operator logs on make run:

All of the RBAC updates should be added to the helm chart as well in https://github.com/splunk/splunk-operator/tree/main/helm-chart/splunk-operator/templates/rbac.

[sgontla]

@rlieberman-splunk , thanks for taking a look. KVService CR is is internally created and managed by the SOK. i.e Customer will not manage it. In that case, do we need them for helm charts?

[rlieberman-splunk]

Yes we do. When customers deploy via helm charts, the operator will need the RBAC configurations on those systems as well to create and manage the CRs.
