Do I still need tridentctl to create a Backend?

[gprossliner]

The documentation Deploying with the Trident Operator mentions tridentctl is multiple places, like in the "Creating a Trident Backend" section.

But if I install a TridentOrchestrator object, I have a CRD named TridendBackend. Is it possible to configure a backend using the kubernetes api only? Or do I really need to use tridentctl, even with the operator?

Thank you

No, you don't :-)

Documentation has been moved here (readthedocs is outdated): https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/trident/index.html

And specifically on creating/managing backends via kubectl: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/trident/trident-use/backend-kubectl.html

Thank you, I‘ll take a look!
