Again, I'm brand new to Kea, Stork, this whole ecosystem. The docs need to be written at that level. My main DHCP experience is Microsoft based so I'm not new to DHCP itself, but this is a very different platform in terms of setup/configuration.

You're absolutely right... even the Stork 'quick start guide' just assumes that you already know you need the Kea Control Agent installed: https://kb.isc.org/docs/stork-quickstart-guide#installing-the-stork-agent

Pay attention also to that guide's warnings about installing the Stork Server and the Stork Agent on the same machine; the default configuration of those two services will conflict with each other and one will have to be changed.

If your goal is to provide DHCPv4 service with Kea and monitor it with Stork, then you'll need to install the Kea DHCPv4 server and the Kea Control Agent, and you'll also need to install the Stork Server and the Stork Agent. In case it wasn't clear, these tools are generally intended for large (not single server) deployments where some of the pieces run on different machines, which is why there are so many pieces!
