Aiven Operator for Kubernetes version 0.49.0 now available

This release adds connection Secret routing for PrivateLink, new service configuration options, and several reliability fixes. Important updates include:

• Choose which service endpoint is published to your connection Secret with the new connInfoSecretRoute field on ServiceUser and ServiceUserRotation. Leaving it unset keeps existing behavior, so Secrets are not rewritten on upgrade.
• Added Kafka consumer group fields such as userConfig.kafka.group_consumer_session_timeout_ms and the related heartbeat and session timeout limits.
• Added MySQL InnoDB tuning fields, including innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct and innodb_max_purge_lag.
• Added OpenSearch ML Commons and KNN cache fields.
• Added Valkey cluster fields userConfig.shard_count and userConfig.replicas.
• Added the pg_lake PostgreSQL variant and Kafka Connect custom plugin support.
