Consolidate the use of Apps / Addons - Coding Phase 2

The coding phase 2 of Google Summer of Code will end this week, so I’d like to share my coding phase 2 work.

The addons have been migrated to apps on coding phase 1, but these apps have not been hosted to OSS, so during the coding phase 2, Jenkins X team build OSS cluster to host my apps:

• jx-app-flagger

• jx-app-ingress

• jx-app-gloo

• jx-app-kubeless

you can use jx add app command to install the above apps, I also made a number of PR:

• https://github.com/jenkins-x/jx/pull/7472 - fix jx add app command

• https://github.com/jenkins-x/jx/pull/7441 - fix skip dir when looping Helm templates

• https://github.com/jenkins-x/jx/pull/7440 - deprecate create addon kubeless

• https://github.com/jenkins-x/jx/pull/7436 - support jx add app from git repository

My work is inseparable from my mentors and Jenkins X team, in particular, my mentor - Kara de la Marck took good care of me in every way (such as language, English is my second language), so thank you for your time ❤️

Next phase work

In the next phase I will write these apps document and add deprecate note to jx, and continue to explore apps. I will also follow up about apps/addons issues on jx then try to solve the issues. Jenkins X team is going to be releasing 3.x of Jenkins X, I also need to get familiar with it - https://github.com/jenkins-x/octant-jx.
