+Uses a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) to create a Custom Resource (CR), in this case
+a CronTab. This example use an example CRD from this tutorial:
+https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-kubernetes-api/custom-resources/custom-resource-definitions/
+
+Apply the following yaml manifest to create a cluster-scoped CustomResourceDefinition (CRD)
+

+kind: CustomResourceDefinition

+  name: crontabs.stable.example.com

+  group: stable.example.com
