   Helm Chart Repostority
   In 4.6, you can add
   additional Helm Chart
   Repositories easily via CRs
   You can remove the
   “default repo” :
   redhat-helm-repo
   In the future, when you
   remove all
   HelmChartRepository CRs,
   we will disable the ability to
   create Helm Charts from
   the console
   Add a new Helm Chart Repository to your cluster
   apiVersion: helm.openshift.io/v1beta1
   kind: HelmChartRepository
   metadata:
   name: azure-sample-repo
   spec:
   name: azure-sample-repo
   connectionConfig:
   url:
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/helm-charts
   /master/docs

   Operator Backed Services
   Example: Red Hat
   Integration - AMQ Streams
   Install operators to expose operator backed services
   in the Developer Catalog
   Notes:
   - In 4.6 a new pattern has been added to help you understand when
   the Operator has been successfully installed
   - Once the Operator has been installed, you can go to the Developer
   Catalog to see what’s now available in the developer catalog

    Quick Starts
    Learn more about Quick
    Starts here
    FUTURE - Create your own Quick Starts
    A quick start is like a guided tutorial that walks users through a set of
    tasks to achieve a particular goal.
    In 4.6 we have introduced the Quick Start pattern. In 4.7 we will be
    providing a Quick Start CR so that Operators and Admins can provide
    their own Quick Starts.
    This design pattern is a perfect way to onboard users, help ensure best
    practices for applications, etc
