Allow more flexibility in Instana-agent HelmChart

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Hi IBM-Instana team,

We use the instana-agent to monitor our services which are running in an air-gapped environment. We have a fully automated pipeline for mirroring images and HelmChart and for wrapping the HelmChart with our custom configuration variables.

Unfortunately the current solution for an air-gapped environment requires several manual steps for every upgrade, and can not be used by us.

We would like to have some more flexibility in original chart to customise it for our environment. In particular the following points:

- The namespace of the controller-manager objects (deployment, CM, etc): https://github.com/instana/helm-charts/blob/main/instana-agent/templates/operator_deployment_controller-manager.yml#L8

- The registry/repository of the controller manager image: https://github.com/instana/helm-charts/blob/main/instana-agent/templates/operator_deployment_controller-manager.yml#L41


Thanks in advance
