Environment

Operator type:

Kubernetes cluster type:

$ operator-sdk version

1.35.0

$ go version (if language is Go)

1.22

$ kubectl version

Possible Solution

Additional context

Go 1.21 is supported (=getting security fixes) only until August 2024 when Go 1.23 is expected to be released. It would make sense to add support for Go 1.22 or even 1.23 by then (Go 1.23 release candidates are already available).
