Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) was included with OKD 4 from its initial release. OKD 4.18 includes components for a next-generation iteration of OLM as a generally available feature, which is known during this phase as OLM v1.
This updated framework evolves many of the concepts that have been part of previous versions of OLM and adds new capabilities. Starting in OKD 4.17, documentation for OLM v1 has been moved to the new guide, "Extensions (OLM v1)".
