**Description**: [[ https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-kubernetes-operator-docs-main/ | flink-kubernetes-operator ]] handles running 'native' Flink clusters in Kubernetes. It allows us to describe FlinkDeployment k8s resources and manage the lifecycle of running Flink applications.
flink-kubernetes-operator has already been developed, deployed, and tested in the dse-k8s-eqiad cluster. We'd like to deploy it to wikikube staging, eqiad, and codfw in order to run Flink apps there.
