Example for Kubernetes about intro-to-mltp HOT 2 OPEN

Hi @y6vmeq
Apologies for the delay in response to this issue.

We've actually discussed at length whether or not to use this repo as a forum for also deploying to Kubernetes (and, indeed, there are manifests for deploying the application itself to Kubernetes).

However, there is already good documentation for doing this which point to the relevant Helm charts, such as for Tempo here.

We could potentially produce a Helm chart that deploys all of the components in this repository, but the worry is due to the number of moving parts this would be a fairly heavy maintanance workload (though saying that, we could potentially use some GH actions to automatically generate dependency updates). We would, though, have to keep updates in-line with the Docker Compose manifests, and some of the versioning we have is due to changes in functionality and therefore is occasionally staggered with mainline releases.

I think we'll reopen some discussion internally on this and make a yes/no decision in the (fairly) near future.

Thank you for reaching out!

+1 on @y6vmeq request, not sure a single chart is needed, rather a 'gist' style of using existing charts and "manually" adding each component with it's relevant configs
