Spike: Investigate adding routes from apps.ci.centos.org

The Ingress Operator[1] manages IngressController resources which will allow us to achieve[3] this on Openshift 4.

Performed the following steps to achieve goal:

-rw-rw-r--. 1 dkirwan dkirwan 1060 Jul  6 18:12 deployment.yaml
-rw-rw-r--. 1 dkirwan dkirwan  286 Jul  6 17:13 ingresscontroller.yaml
-rw-rw-r--. 1 dkirwan dkirwan  336 Jul  6 17:53 route.yaml
-rw-rw-r--. 1 dkirwan dkirwan  273 Jul  6 17:58 service.yaml

Created an IngressController which creates 2 router replicas and configured to manage Routes which point at *.apps.ci.centos.org. It also has a routeSelector to match labels type: sharded

  routeSelector:
    matchLabels:
      type: sharded

Created a Deployment with simple app.
Created Service and Route to expose the app externally at ingress-controller-test.apps.ci.centos.org.
Route has been given a label: type: sharded
Used dig to retrieve the public IP address of the cluster

dig console-openshift-console.apps.ocp.stg.ci.centos.org

Configured my /etc/hosts file accordingly:

cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
8.43.84.237 ingress-controller-test.apps.ci.centos.org

Visited http://ingress-controller-test.apps.ci.centos.org and was greeted with the expected content in the deployed app.
We should be able to achieve this spike CPE-764 using the Ingress Controller Operator.
