[stork-users] sotrk not picking up Kea (but IS picking up bind9)

[Slawek Figiel]

Hey!

The missing part is probably the Kea Control Agent. Stork still requires 
it to detect Kea.

We are working on supporting the direct (CA-less) Kea API in 
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/stork/-/issues/1835.
