Aiven Operator for Kubernetes version 0.47.0 now available

This release adds automated credential rotation, along with several smaller reliability and configuration improvements.

You no longer need to rotate service user passwords manually. With the new

ServiceUserRotation kind, you can manage a rotating pool of service users behind a stable connection Secret. Credentials can be rotated without disrupting dependent workloads.

Other updates include:

• Relaxed the pattern restriction on the Kafka field userConfig.karapace_version.
• Removed the character pattern restriction from KafkaTopic tags keys and values.
• Added Valkey fields userConfig.valkey_active_defrag_ignore_bytes and userConfig.valkey_active_defrag_threshold_lower to control active defragmentation.
