Epic Goal

Migrate the default image used by the GitOps Operator from RHSSO 7.6 which is extended life support (ELS) to the latest official build of Keycloak which is Red Hat Build for Keycloak (RHBK) version 26 or later.

Why is this important?

RHSSO 7.6 is deprecated and in ELS. New customers adopting OpenShift GitOps should ideally not be using this deprecated image and ELS generally means limited support for existing customers.

Other Considerations

• ArgoCD CR provides a way to override image for Keycloak. When we tried using the RHBK container image, the pods were crashing as the new container image expects some arguments whereas the old image of RHSSO 7.6 did not expect any. This needs to be handled in the operator code where the Deployment/DeploymentConfig object is created for Keycloak.
