IBM MQ Kubernetes Operator improvements

It would be great if the operator: ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_9.2.0/com.ibm.mq.ctr.doc/ctr_using_operator.htm could handle creation/parameters of queues and topics, and not only queue-managers.

This would make MQ truly user-friendly, as end-users could be self-serviced with queues via the k8s api.

    Thanks for raising the RFE, the MQ operator already supports referencing a Kubernetes ConfigMap within the QueueManager resource. This ConfigMap can contain mqsc and qm.ini snippets. This mqsc can include the definition of any standard MQ objects including queue, topics, channels, etc. This approach is documented within our Knowledge Center here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.2?topic=manager-example-supplying-mqsc-ini-files
    Hopefully, this addresses the RFE, as you can create a new queue manager, with as many customized queues or topics using standard Kubernetes objects.
