   As discussed:

   • The idea is that each component does one thing, and does it well
   • Components should not try to manage their platform-specific dependencies, but rather such dependencies should be separate components which are included iff the platform does not have the dependency (e.g. prometheus-operator) out of the box
   • Components need to support both provisioning their runtime dependencies (e.g. S3 buckets) if the required in-cluster infrastructure (e.g. Crossplane) exists and using externally provisioned runtime dependencies (e.g. S3 buckets managed by Terraform)
   • There must be a mechanism which components can use to determine whether their optional dependencies (e.g. Crossplane) are available at compile time, and configure themselves accordingly or throw an error.
