operator-sdk version, of our openshift/trustee-operator repository, should match the kubernetes version for the latest OCP we will support.

To find the match, Ctrl+F the desired Kubernetes version on the operator-sdk release page. If there are no breaking changes mentioned in the release notes, you can just use the latest version.

Follow upgrade docs operator-sdk upgrades: Upgrade SDK Version. If the release notes mention breaking changes, this may be not straightforward.

Example: the move to Golang v4 plugin in v1.33.0, needed for Kubernetes 1.28 / Openshift 4.16.

Check go deps of upstream operator-sdk (go.mod):

“go get github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk@v…”
“go get github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk@none”
remove operator-sdk lines from go.sum
“go mod tidy”
Resolve dep issue after go mod tidy
Build and address build failures caused by updated dependencies
