Hey Okumin, Any kind of improvement that facilitates the deployment of Hive is definitely nice to have. The tricky part is that if we claim that something is officially supported and made to work in a certain way we should have some tests around it. The Dockerfiles that we have are super helpful yet we have zero tests covering this aspect and finding problems relies exclusively on people manually checking them and doing arbitrary checks during the release. All in all, if the new manifests come along with some automated testing to ensure that the deployment is functional then this would be a very valuable contribution.
