Pin the operator image to a specific sha digest
We only tag latest for the operator so far, so this is a workaround for us to keep updating the operator without breaking existing installs, until we figure out how we want to version the operator.
The 17.0 major release is coming on May 16, 2024! This version brings many exciting improvements to GitLab, but also removes some deprecated features. We are introducing three breaking change windows during which we expect breaking changes to be deployed to GitLab.com. You can read more about it on our blogpost. The second breaking change window begins 2024-04-29 09:00 UTC and ends 2024-05-01 22:00 UTC.
