Goal

Research and prototype alternative approaches to replace operator-sdk generate bundle command.

Questions to Answer

• What bundle metadata does operator-sdk generate bundle generate?
• What are the alternatives? (OPM, manual generation, other tools?)
• How do we preserve all current bundle metadata fields (channels, version, labels)?
• How do we handle image reference substitution for 7 component images?
• What are the pros/cons of each approach?

Acceptance Criteria

• Understand what the operator-sdk command generates
• Investigate OPM and other alternatives
• Prototype at least one viable solution
• Document findings and recommended approach
• Identify any risks or gaps
• Compare generated bundle structure with current output

Deliverables

• Technical design document
• Proof-of-concept code
• Recommended approach for implementation
• Risk assessment
