Allow outputting into yaml

[SelfhostedPro]

Hello, I'd like to be able to output any manifests that would normally get applied to a kubernetes cluster into a local file in order to deploy functions following GitOps principals. Is this something that is feasible or already exists? (I didn't see if when searching through issues)

Hi @SelfhostedPro - first - sorry for the latency in responding! You should track this PR where this feature has been proposed #898

[lance]

There has been discussion around this in a couple of different areas - on cluster builds, service deployment, etc. Let's use this issue as a place to discuss what's needed, and to collate any new issues or PRs that get created as a result.

Currently, I am leaning towards the idea of a --dry-run flag for func deploy to generate yaml files.

@SelfhostedPro @lance I've just created an issue for this:
#1060 as I will be working on this for the next couple of weeks

@lance can we close this as #1060 is a duplicate now, @SelfhostedPro you are welcome to join the conversation in that issue
