User Story

As a registry operator provider, I want to ensure the operator sdk is kept up to date and in sync with supported k8s and go versions so there is no breakage when running makefile commands.

Acceptance Criteria

  • When updating k8s and go versions, we need to monitor compatibility with the operator SDK version: https://sdk.operatorframework.io/docs/upgrading-sdk-version/ and perform any migration if necessary
  • We need to ensure these changes are tested on Openshift and Kubernetes
  • Ensure README and Release notes are documented with this changes
