Operator SDK + Kubebuilder compatibility matrix

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hello,

in the company I work for there is a strict process required to approve a new software (including Open Source).
The process also applies if we want to use a new version of already approved software. And you can imagine it takes time and effort so you do that if it is absolutely necessary.
We got specific versions of Operator SDK and Kubebuilder approved. But since then there are a few new releases of both.
I would like to start the internal process again for the latest Operator SDK but I am not sure which Kubebuilder is supported in this release.
Is there any compatibility matrix showing which version of Kubebuilder is supported by particular Operator SDK release ?

Hi @przemolb This information can be found in the mod file for any given tag which corresponds to any given released. For example 1.35.0 can be found here. Hope this helps!

Thanks @acornett21 .
I guess it is an exact version and not the highest or lowest version supported ?

Correct, each version of Operator SDK points to one version of Kubebuilder, since Kubebuilder is being used as a library.

Though I'm not sure why your organization would need to know this level of dependencies, since you'd have to look at every library that is used but Operator SDK (or any Open Source software for that matter) and also get those approved, if that is truly the case.
