+1 (non-binding)
I performed successfully the following actions:
- `mvn clean verify` using OpenJDK 17 + Maven 3.9.14
- `helm unittest helm/flink-kubernetes-operator --file
"tests/**/*_test.yaml”` command
- Built the Docker image and installed the operator within Helm
- Run the examples on normal runs and on different combinations
Best regards,
Dennis
