kubectl Plugin - Shipper

[nrshrivatsan]

What

AS A user of Kubernetes Clusters to manage my workloads using kubectl

GIVEN I have kubectl installed on my workstation and my build-environment

WHEN I need to perform a Multi-Cluster phased roll-out of my application through intent-driven-specifications AND I runkubectl krew install shipper

THEN I should be able to perform all actions as provide by shipperctl

Why

• Kubernetes Command line interface supports plug-in(s)
• Shipper is a well maintained tool for Kubernetes users.
• Using Krew, if All users of Kubectl could seamlessly leverage the powers offered by shipperctl, shipper might end up becoming the defacto tool of choice for multi-cluster deployments.

Hi! I was playing with plugins recently. So i made preliminary changes for this issue in my branch - https://github.com/jan25/krew-index/compare/master...jan25:add-shipperctl?expand=1#diff-3de6258562a7a82dd5669df5d77dd1f8.

Let me know if i'm missing something, if its looking good we can proceed with PR to krew-index repo
