WMCO Version

6.0.0

Windows version

What happened?

In the OKD documentation, I noticed that the Windows Machine Config Operator is listed as supported. However, it appears that the operator is not actively maintained in the Community Operator Hub.

The version currently available in the community catalog is 6.0.0, which only supports Kubernetes versions 1.25 and 1.24. Our environment, however, is running OKD 4.19 with Kubernetes 1.32.

Is there any way to leverage and install the operator in this setup? I attempted to build the operator from source using the instructions provided in the Dockerfile, but the registry references within the Dockerfile point to private OpenShift repositories, which are inaccessible externally.

What did you expect to happen?

It would be great if the operator were published publicly in a ready-to-install form, or if the Community Operator Hub version could be actively maintained.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Just install community windows machine config operator, it will throw you an error stating version won't support in the deployment logs in openshift-windows-machine-config-operator namespace

Do you have a workaround for this issue?

no

Start with the Dockerfile and the operator build instructions, then inspect the Community Operator catalog entry and the deployment logs in the openshift-windows-machine-config-operator namespace. Determine what is required to support OKD 4.19/Kubernetes 1.32 and make the operator publicly installable; done means a ready-to-install community version no longer reports an unsupported Kubernetes version.
