Is there a CRD to create an index template?

I know rabbitMQ operator allow to declare queue like this:

```auto
apiVersion: rabbitmq.com/v1beta1
kind: Queue
metadata:
  name: test
  namespace: rabbitmq-system
spec:
  name: test
  rabbitmqClusterReference:
    name: example-rabbit

```

will be awesome to be able to define:

- index template
- index
- ILM
- snapshot repo & policy

Not that I'm tracking. We just use the API to create the templates after creating the Elasticsearch instances.

thanks you,

Should I create a PR into this operator or create a new operator "Elasticsearch topology" ?

Provisionning is a really good feature, especially with gitops pattern.
