Ability to configure namespace settings and settings outside of CPF merge file capabilities

There should be a way to configure a running instance using a YAML configuration file and / or using a REST API. Currently, a CPF file cannot modify namespace specific settings like schemas, production default settings, credentials and so on. Instead these settings has to be configured manually. I've created a solution already to demonstrate this. The solution can load a YAMLA file that contains settings for a instance and configure a running instance. This is especially useful when used together in CI/CD pipelines and with containers. The solution contains also a REST api that can load properties on a running instance.

    Hi Kari,

    have you looked at the Configuration Merge File? This mechanism offers a lot of flexibility for adapting the configuration of a running instance, and is used heavily in our own cloud deployment pipelines.
