Operator Support for combined ACE/MQ container

JLR CP4i DevOps would like to move from HELM charts to Operators but the lack of operator support for our scenarios is preventing us moving. Our architecture (which may change long term but not short term) is to use a combined ACE/MQ container image and this is not supported by the CP4i OpenShift operators (we do not want to migrate to separate ACE and MQ containers with client connections at this point).

    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to submit this idea for enhancement, which we agree would improve the product. There are two potentially possible implementations which would achieve the use case presented:

    a) Add support for a container image which combines ACE and MQ together in a single image.
    b) Provide a mechanism for users to extend our operator code so that it can be used in conjunction with users' own built images (thus allowing you to build your own combined image).

    Having previously offered a combined image (as mentioned in [a]) in earlier versions of our offering and moved away from this, we are currently minded that (b) would be the preferred option. That said we are open to further comments on this RFE to challenge or agree with this assertion. Meanwhile, status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
