Added a mention of early adopters contact in the table, should it lead somewhere specific?

should we refer to the capi operator docs instead of duplicating it? My concern is, keeping this up-to-date with capi operator docs might be challenging in the future

We can always pin it to a version of the operator docs to use, and the docs are describing a fixed state of some release of operator and turtles IMO. Additionally the value of the documentation is in simple access to the most common use cases in a single unified location. We may explore some better documentation options for the CAPI Operator, as a single README.md file is quite inconvenient to always refer to. It could clearly be separated into multiple sections.

I think it is worth mentioning why we are using specific CAPI version, v1.4.6 in this case and later versions of it can be used in the future due to some limitations of the Rancher ?

helm repo add capi-operator https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/cluster-api-operator
```

The `infrastructure` flag is set to `docker:v1.4.6;azure:v1.4.6`, representing the desired provider names. This means that the `Cluster API Operator` will install and manage multiple provider systems, `Docker` and `Azure` respectively, with versions `1.4.6` specified.
