Description

I propose to add deploy/olm alongside deploy/helm manfiests in all operator repositories and keep them sync.

The advantages of this are:

• OpenShift testing can be done with OLM manifests at any time, not just after the release.
• Remove the (error prone) extra step of specifically producing these manifests after a release.
• Enables us to easily publish operators in the community catalogs.
• Raise awareness that Helm changes must be mirrored to OLM.

TODO

• Figure out how to handle oci/quay.io images. OLM uses quay.io images. The dev images are not there.
• Add scripts to generate OLM from Helm.
• Add make regenerate-olm and integrate with pre-commit hooks.
• Document how to install/remove operators using OLM.
• Rollout OLM manfists across all operators.
• Update the certification process to use them.
