* {rh-storage} is expected to be updated to 4.22 when the aligned {rh-storage} version is released.
* The Cluster Logging Operator is expected to be updated to 6.6 when the aligned version is released.
* The cert-manager Operator and {gitops-title} Operator are platform-agnostic operators.
The support lifecycle for these operators is independent from the support lifecycle for {product-title}.
You might need to update to a newer minor version of these operators at the end of an operator lifecycle, or when planning to update the {product-title} cluster to continue support.
For support lifecycle details for platform-agnostic operators, see link:https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/openshift_operators[OpenShift Operator Life Cycles].
