add option to configure the version of vdk when installing vdk-server
What is the feature request? What problem does it solve?
Contributors to this project would find it useful to have a local testing environment that can be started and configured without too much hassle. E.g if a developer has knowledge only on vdk-core they needn't learn how the helm charts and/or control-service work to be able to deploy, use (as if installed in cloud) and remove the tool in a local environment.
Suggested solution
The current installation of vdk-server comes with a pre-defined version of vdk-quickstart and the control-service. Ideally, we want to be able to deploy, schedule and run data jobs on a locally running cluster such as vdk server and get the same behavior as if the data job was running in a cloud instance.
Add a feature that enables us to use a local version of the vdk package that data jobs will run on during installation of vdk-server.
Additional context
This request was discussed during a team technical alignment meeting and the overall consensus was that this is a worthwhile feature.
