Epic Goal

Operator-SDK supports Kube 1.22 (K8s GA: Aug 2nd, 2021) for OCP 4.10 Release (Final Freeze: Jan 28th, 2022, GA: Mar 29th, 2022).

Why is this important?

Operator SDK needs to support the latest features of Kubernetes since that operator developers expect to be able to use them shortly after the release is made.

• out of scope: Additional work in SDK related to Kubernetes 1.22 new features is out of scope.
• CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated
• Release Technical Enablement - Provide necessary release enablement details and documents.
