Create an OperatorConfig CR to configure the Ceph-CSI Operator:

```console
echo '
apiVersion: csi.ceph.io/v1alpha1
kind: OperatorConfig
metadata:
name: ceph-csi-operator-config
namespace: ceph-csi-operator-system
' | kubectl create -f -

If we are going for minimal installation, why do we need an operator config instance?

it was added to deploy the CR with minimal values and no values and the user can update it later as per requirement. Removed it now

To clean up the resources, delete the OperatorConfig CR, drivers:

```console
kubectl delete operatorconfig ceph-csi-operator-config -n ceph-csi-operator-system

Continued from the last comment, for a minimal installation example we don't need an operator config CR

If we want a minimal installation that can actually serve storage, we need the user to create at least one ceph connection and at least one client profile. Both are missing from this quick start guide.

I am surprised that the guide does not mention building the operator. Even if this is making use of published images, I think developers want to test locally built images with their local changes.

That will be a follow-up to add/update the document on how to test the local changes.

@Madhu-1 thanks for adding quickstart guide. Very useful!

A general suggestion:
Instead of the echo and using kubectl create -f -, wouldn't it be convenient to have example yaml files for these items (rbd driver, cephfs driver, client connection, client profile, etc)? this would probably be as follow-up PR.

I tried the steps in the guide and they all work with one exception:

Creation of the clientProfile fails like this:

Error from server (BadRequest): error when creating "STDIN": ClientProfile in version "v1alpha1" cannot be handled as a ClientProfile: strict decoding error: unknown field "spec.cephFs.subvolumeGroup"

two comments inline. Not strictly change requests really, rather suggestions/thoughts.

Before deploying the Ceph-CSI-Operator, ensure the following requirements are met:

- A Kubernetes cluster ([supported version](https://kubernetes.io/releases/) recommended)
- Ceph cluster ([supported version](https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/) recommended)

Might be nice to mention the rook project here as a convenient means of creating a Ceph cluster in k8s.

I have kept the options open for deploying Rook and its up to the user to use their own way to deploy the ceph cluster, that why i have mentioned that a supported version of ceph need to be installed.

It might be useful to explain how to get the requires IP address and port, e. g. when using rook to set up Ceph.

As the ceph cluster is configured I assume that the user knows the basic monitor information to configure anything. that is the reason not pointing to any specific commands as it depends on the way of the ceph cluster deployment.

added a quick start guide for
the minimal installation
