What are you trying to do?

The operator is currently configured by flags and environment variables for global options like enabling the auth proxy. Updating these currently requires modifying the operator deployment directly, e.g. via a helm upgrade and a freshly created pod.

How should we solve this?

As the number of options grows, it might be useful to have a config file that can be updated separately from the operator deployment and without the need for restarts, e.g. something like a ConfigMap or a controller-specific configuration file like CertManager.

What is the impact of not solving this?

Without a config file, the natural solution to new config options will generally be to add more complexity to the helm chart.

Anything else?
