Meta Issue for k8s 1.27 bump

In order to bump Operator SDK to support Kubernetes 1.27 there are a few dependencies we rely on making the bump first.

This issue is meant to help track all dependencies and the status of their bumps.

Order of dependency bumps

Step 1: upgrade controller-runtime, controller-tools, helm, and operator-framework/operator-manifest-tools(can be done in parallel)

• sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime
• sigs.k8s.io/controller-tools
• operator-framework/operator-manifest-tools

Step 2: upgrade operator-framework/api and sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder-declarative-pattern (can be done immediately after controller-runtime)

• operator-framework/api
• sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder-declarative-pattern

Step 3.1: upgrade operator-framework/operator-registry and operator-framework/operator-lib (can be done immediately after operator-framework/api)

• operator-framework/operator-registry updating operator-framework/api dependency which has k8s 1.27 changes operator-registry#1120
• operator-framework/operator-lib

Step 3.2: upgrade kubebuilder (blocked until kubebuilder-declarative-pattern is bumped)

• sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder/v3

Step 4: upgrade operator-framework/helm-operator-plugins and operator-framework/java-operator-plugins

• operator-framework/helm-operator-plugins Bump controller-runtime and k8s.io deps helm-operator-plugins#216
• operator-framework/java-operator-plugins Bump k8s packages to v0.27.2 java-operator-plugins#119

Step 5: upgrade operator-framework/operator-sdk dependencies

• Bump Ginkgo/v2 and Kubebuilder 1.27
• Bump SDK to use k8s 1.27
• Bump envtest to 1.27

@varshaprasad96 @everettraven Just wanted to let you all know that I started raising PR's for this issue. I'll be out next week, so I won't be at any of the community meetings, but thought you all might want a heads up on this and could help push a few of the PR's along.

[varshaprasad96]

Current releases that have k8s updates:

1. Controller-runtime: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime/releases/tag/v0.15.0
2. Controller-tools: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-tools/releases/tag/v0.12.0
3. Kubebuilder: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/tag/v3.11.0

These three release versions need to updated in plugins.

We also have operator-framework/helm-operator-plugins#216 that bumps the helm-operator-plugins

The PR for operator-framework/operator-registry (Step 3.1 (a)) seems to be merged. Is there anything pending there?
PR: https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-registry/pull/1120/files

The PR for operator-framework/helm-operator-plugins (Step 4 (a)) also seems to be merged. Is there anything pending there?
PR: operator-framework/helm-operator-plugins#216

If both of these are done, are we good to move on to step 5?

[varshaprasad96]

#6514 --> would update k8s in SDK alongside the all the plugins.

@everettraven Are the bottom two tasks complete as well? Just want to make sure we aren't missing anything.

@acornett21 I believe so. They should have been taken care of as part of #6613 . I just checked the boxes off, thanks for the reminder :)
