WHAT

A new release for the Observability Operator (v4.0.0) should be created.

WHY

A number of recent changes need to be rolled out including new generic default resource names, self-reporting metrics, ability to install Cluster Logging Operator and support for OpenShift 4.12

DONE

• New release (v4.0.0) available from both midstream and upstream
• New release is tested for successful install and upgrade from v3.0.16 on both Openshift 4.11 and 4.12

Guidelines

The following steps should be adhered to:

• Required tests should be put in place - unit, integration, manual test cases (if necessary)
• CI and all relevant tests passing
• Changes have been verified by one additional reviewer against:
• each required environment
• each supported upgrade path
• If the changes could have an impact on the clients (either UI or CLI), a JIRA should be created for making the required changes on the client side and acknowledged by one of the client side team members. PR has been merged
