Building Operator Image and imagePullSecret

[arichoang]

I have some concerns relative to what I have seen thus far with the Artemis Operator:

1] Do we actually need to build the operator image in order to use it?

Typically operators that are available to the community already have pre-built images that are hosted on a public docker registry

2. Is quay.io/artemiscloud/activemq-artemis-operator:1.0.11 publicly accessible?

3. How do we specify the imagePullSecret for the Artemis kind?

Hi you don't have to build the operator image. you can just use the images at quay.io which are built by the ci workflow.
To specify the secret you need to give the names of the secrets in the broker CR deploymentPlan.imagePullSecrets see here

activemq-artemis-operator/deploy/crds/broker_activemqartemis_crd.yaml

imagePullSecrets:

It's worth noting that quay.io/artemiscloud/activemq-artemis-operator has regular rebuilds, available at tag dev.latest.
