IDP Demo improvements

[LutzLange]

This issue is to collect and track feedback on IDP demo v1 that allows you to deploy a new GO Service.

Go-Service improvements

Quick Wins:

• Remove showing GitOps Repository Location tab from the Go-Service template
• Shorten GitHub Action pipeline name "validate and test" to "checks"
• Improve Kratix Resource page - Creation Progress Box
• Allow navigation from Service Component->Deployment->Management Cluster
• Create a simple "Create Namespace" template
• Create a simple "Create a GitRepository " template

A bit of work:

• Automate de-provisioning of service instances ( partially done in shell script here )
• Crossplane cleanup blocked currently.

Could be a lot of work:

• 1st Commit on the New Service repository should be done as the service requester

• On the Component page of the Go Service. The Deployment Tab

  • Easy: has a table where the Section Action is only Links. Rename to "Links"
  • Easy?: Lists Source as "lutzdemo/lutzdemo" which is wrong. Should be DemoTechInc/lutzdemo, right?
  • Easy: Installation is gazelle. This is a Management Cluster or an Infrastructure, but not an Installation.
  • A bit of work: Dependency Section of the the Component in Backstage is empty. We should add the ElasticCache and RDS there? Check if we can add these as resources in Backstage.

Tackle Day 2 Operation

• How to iterate & version services
• Provide a way to delete the Service through Backstage

Created the two stub templates. They don't show up yet in the Demotech portal. Have to check.
