Currently, we need to configure the Ceph external Admin keyi
in the Rook deployment to be able to connect to an external Ceph cluster.
If we wanted to run in a multi-tenant fashion
were several K8s/Rook clusters wanted to connect to the same external ceph cluster,
each K8s deployment would have the access to the External Ceph Admin key
and could potentially access or delete the Data
from pools that belong to other k8s/Rook Clusters.
Now the admin key is optional but the helper script create-external-cluster-resources.sh
will help create the necessary keys/users to connect to that cluster.

Previously, the rbd-mirror daemon was integrated into the `CephCluster`
CRD. This wasn't really practical since we would have to wait for the
whole orchestration to be done to actually set it up. The same goes for
any CR update. Let's say you want to change the number of daemons, Rook
would go through mons, mgrs and osds until it get to rbd-mirror.
This triggers an undesired full orchestration.
With its own CRD this component just gains a lot more flexibility.
