Strimzi Kafka Operator upgrade plan from 0.34.0 to 0.43.0

[bharat15-ml]

Hi Team,

I am trying to upgrade Strimzi Kafka operator from version 0.34.0 to 0.43.0. It seems operator version 0.43.0 doesn't support downgraded Kafka cluster deployment which is in my case of version 3.4.0 which deployed with operator version 0.34.0

Pls suggest upgrade plan in this case. Any help is well appreciated.

1. Current deployment -
   Kafka Operator 0.34.0
   Kafka Cluster Version - 3.4.0

2. Expected Upgrade plan -
   Kafka Operator 0.43.0
   Kafka Cluster Version - 3.8.0

I'm not sure I follow the question or the issue.

The upgrade process is described in our docs. But given how old version you use right now, you should definitely first try to test it in some test environment.
