cert-manager need explanation #76

cert-manager is not a component currently deployed to our clusters. prior to adding this, I'd like to understand the role it plays in this operator. Is it absolutely necessary?

Having a dependency on cert-manager is a liability - it makes it more difficult for users to install, and as far as I can tell doesn't offer any value to users. It would be far more ideal for this project to internally manage the necessary self-signed cert to eliminate this dependency and streamline the installation process.
