Is there any plan to optimize user experience of installation? #276

Right now Istio has overtaken both functionality and user experience totally... The installation process can be done by only one command, istioctl install. Here is the app mesh, please take a look the tedious steps: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/app-mesh/latest/userguide/getting-started-kubernetes.html As a hosting product, I cannot understand why I have to set up crd and controller? If app mesh doesn't care about UX, it will fail.

@malphi On the install how far do you want a CLI to go? Clearly installing the controller and everything from Step 1 (with a few options for Fargate and IRSA). What about the other steps?

@buzzsurfr Thanks for reply. Is there any other way to install it without CLI? As a customer of App Mesh, I hope the installation steps is more simple.

We do not have a CLI today, but you can use the AWS CLI and kubectl/helm to install most of it. How do you want App Mesh installed into your kubernetes/EKS cluster? We don't include it by default in EKS clusters for those customers that do not want to use it.

Also, the EKS service team is working on EKS managed addons, I'd comment there that you want to see App Mesh installed as a managed addon.

Sounds great, thanks!
