Epic Goal

Operator-SDK supports Kube 1.24 (K8s GA: Apr 12th, 2022) for OCP 4.11 Release (Code Freeze: Jun 3rd, 2022, GA: Jul 13th, 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.

As OCP is moving to align with k8s as 3 releases per year, it's important Operator SDK also keeps in sync with the k8s release version.

Acceptance Criteria

• in scope: Operator developers have a release of the SDK that supports Kubernetes 1.24
• in scope: Update dependencies and fix up anything as a result of breaking changes.
• in scope: Requirement figure out generic framework for alpha and beta releases of controller-runtime and kubebuilder to bring them into the sdk
• out of scope: Additional work in SDK related to Kubernetes 1.24 new features is out of scope.
• CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated
• Release Technical Enablement - Provide necessary release enablement details and documents.
• ...
