Expose the state that CCO manages within a cluster

[pwalsh]

Job story

When I administer infrastructure that CCO manages, I want to be able to rebuild/reproduce the entire state of that cluster, so that I have the technical means to support disaster/recovery scenarios that require the establishment of an entire new infrastructure environment.

Context

CCO produces/manages a lot of state about the configuration of the cluster and related services, as well as the configuration of the multiple CKANs that run within. This state can be written into a format that can be imported and exported, and this is desirable for scenarios

Acceptance criteria

• An API to export CCO-managed cluster state
• An API to import CCO-managed cluster state
• Tests to demonstrate functionality, executed via CI/CD
• Documentation

How does CCO currently store its state? Flat files? External systems e.g. Kubernetes? A database?

This would help me to prioritize this story.

As custom kubernetes objects.

You mean exporting would involve pulling objects out of the Kubernetes API and writing them to some file format?

If that's the case, I would lower the priority since it's not necessary to deploy into the GSA sandbox.
