Ask an OpenShift Admin (Ep 44): Kubernetes API Deprecations

Are your Operators ready for the release of Kubernetes 1.22? It's a good idea to double-check because several APIs that have previously been marked as deprecated will be removed and are no longer available in 1.22. To help us cover this change Rob Szumski, Senior Manager, Openshift Product Management, joins us to discuss the details and ensure we avoid removed API versions. We'll also look at the steps needed to upgrade to newer APIs because Operators projects using these APIs versions will not work on Kubernetes 1.22 or any cluster vendor using Kubernetes version 1.22, such as OpenShift 4.9+.
