Impact of the new feature

Central services, or whatever else we will ever want to run on k8s

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

At the moment, we mount the same CephFS volume into every wmcore container. Our services writes log files in that volume. However, rotating the logs requires maintenance effort and depending on CephFS means that our services can not run if Ceph has troubles.

Describe the solution you'd like

We should use tools that better integrate with our k8s infrastructure, similar to what CRAB did in the recent past [1]

Describe alternatives you've considered

We could implement better retention policies for logs in CephFS, however it does not make our central services less fragile.

Additional context

(I will provide details about the current CRAB implementation in the next comment)
