Service Catalog (Service Broker) for Kubernetes integration

Using the Kubernetes Service Catalog based on the Open Service Broker API we can build out a UI where a user selects from services to create and bind to their application.

One possible use case for this is that we build out a UI Operations > Services where an operator can select from all the services available (depends on GCP or AWS or custom installed services on your cluster) and then provision and bind the service to an app. For example a user can select "Big Query" and then the specific plan and behind the scenes we will be able to generate a new big query database and pass the credentials into the application as variables.

This plan can move us away from implementing our own support for DBs (like postgres, redis or whatever) and then towards a generic industry standard that is supported by many cloud providers with 10s of services now available to users.

Also the open service broker API makes it very easy for big companies to create their own service brokers for their own needs internally so they aren't reliant on the types of services offered by cloud providers and they can do it all on-prem.
