Topic 1 - There are multiple types of operators: Go, Ansible, Helm. What are the basic things that the Ansible Operator does - in the context of the Operator Framework?

Topic 2 - Are there some basic things that an existing Ansible Playbook should have in order to easily fit into an Ansible Operator?

Topic 3 - Will Ansible Operator mostly be targeting applications that are automated via Ansible Playbooks, or is it also applicable to infrastructure or security-related playbooks?

Topic 4 - How does an Ansible Operator interact with Ansible Tower, or how due those two worlds co-exist (or not)?

Topic 5 - Are there examples today of Ansible Operators that people can look at or try out?
