Usage of /usr/bin/operator:
  -aws-sg-setup
    	Setup Security Groups in AWS (should only be used on OpenShift).
  -enable-leader-election
    	Enable leader election for controller manager. Enabling this will ensure there is only one active controller manager. (default true)
  -ginkgo.debug
    	If set, ginkgo will emit node output to files when running in parallel.
  -ginkgo.dryRun
    	If set, ginkgo will walk the test hierarchy without actually running anything.  Best paired with -v.
  -ginkgo.failFast
    	If set, ginkgo will stop running a test suite after a failure occurs.
  -ginkgo.failOnPending
    	If set, ginkgo will mark the test suite as failed if any specs are pending.
  -ginkgo.flakeAttempts int
    	Make up to this many attempts to run each spec. Please note that if any of the attempts succeed, the suite will not be failed. But any failures will still be recorded. (default 1)
  -ginkgo.focus value
    	If set, ginkgo will only run specs that match this regular expression. Can be specified multiple times, values are ORed.
  -ginkgo.noColor
    	If set, suppress color output in default reporter.
  -ginkgo.noisyPendings
    	If set, default reporter will shout about pending tests. (default true)
  -ginkgo.noisySkippings
    	If set, default reporter will shout about skipping tests. (default true)
  -ginkgo.parallel.node int
    	This worker node's (one-indexed) node number.  For running specs in parallel. (default 1)
  -ginkgo.parallel.streamhost string
    	The address for the server that the running nodes should stream data to.
  -ginkgo.parallel.synchost string
    	The address for the server that will synchronize the running nodes.
  -ginkgo.parallel.total int
    	The total number of worker nodes.  For running specs in parallel. (default 1)
  -ginkgo.progress
    	If set, ginkgo will emit progress information as each spec runs to the GinkgoWriter.
  -ginkgo.randomizeAllSpecs
    	If set, ginkgo will randomize all specs together.  By default, ginkgo only randomizes the top level Describe, Context and When groups.
  -ginkgo.regexScansFilePath
    	If set, ginkgo regex matching also will look at the file path (code location).
  -ginkgo.reportFile string
    	Override the default reporter output file path.
  -ginkgo.reportPassed
    	If set, default reporter prints out captured output of passed tests.
  -ginkgo.seed int
    	The seed used to randomize the spec suite. (default 1794237670)
  -ginkgo.skip value
    	If set, ginkgo will only run specs that do not match this regular expression. Can be specified multiple times, values are ORed.
  -ginkgo.skipMeasurements
    	If set, ginkgo will skip any measurement specs.
  -ginkgo.slowSpecThreshold float
    	(in seconds) Specs that take longer to run than this threshold are flagged as slow by the default reporter. (default 5)
  -ginkgo.succinct
    	If set, default reporter prints out a very succinct report
  -ginkgo.trace
    	If set, default reporter prints out the full stack trace when a failure occurs
  -ginkgo.v
    	If set, default reporter print out all specs as they begin.
  -kubeconfig string
    	Paths to a kubeconfig. Only required if out-of-cluster.
  -log-verbosity int
    	Verbosity level of logs (-2=Error, -1=Warn, 0=Info, >0=Debug)
  -manage-crds
    	Operator should manage the projectcalico.org and operator.tigera.io CRDs.
  -print-calico-crds string
    	Print the Calico CRDs the operator has bundled then exit. Possible values: all, <crd prefix>. If a value other than 'all' is specified, the first CRD with a prefix of the specified value will be printed.
  -print-enterprise-crds string
    	Print the Enterprise CRDs the operator has bundled then exit. Possible values: all, <crd prefix>. If a value other than 'all' is specified, the first CRD with a prefix of the specified value will be printed.
  -print-images string
    	Print the default images the operator could deploy and exit. Possible values: list
  -url-only-kubeconfig string
    	Path to a kubeconfig, but only for the apiserver url.
  -version
    	Show version information
  -zap-devel
    	Development Mode defaults(encoder=consoleEncoder,logLevel=Debug,stackTraceLevel=Warn). Production Mode defaults(encoder=jsonEncoder,logLevel=Info,stackTraceLevel=Error)
  -zap-encoder value
    	Zap log encoding (one of 'json' or 'console')
  -zap-log-level value
    	Zap Level to configure the verbosity of logging. Can be one of 'debug', 'info', 'error', or any integer value > 0 which corresponds to custom debug levels of increasing verbosity
  -zap-stacktrace-level value
    	Zap Level at and above which stacktraces are captured (one of 'info', 'error', 'panic').
  -zap-time-encoding value
    	Zap time encoding (one of 'epoch', 'millis', 'nano', 'iso8601', 'rfc3339' or 'rfc3339nano'). Defaults to 'epoch'.
