Fusion Data Foundation installation overview

Fusion Data Foundation consists of multiple components managed by multiple operators.

Installed Operators
When installing Fusion Data Foundation from the Operator Hub, four separate deployments are created. These operators run independently and interact with each other by creating customer resources (CRs) that are watched by the other operators.
OCSInitialization CR
The Fusion Data Foundation bundle defines an external plugin to the OpenShift Container Platform Console, adding new screens and functionality not otherwise available in the Console. This plugin runs as a web server in the odf-console-plugin Pod, which is managed by a Deployment created by the OLM at the time of installation.
Storage cluster creation
The Fusion Data Foundation operators themselves provide no storage functionality, and the desired storage configuration must be defined.
