Datadog operator EKS Addon - how to get updates?

[kkopachev]

Describe what happened: Installed DataDog operator as EKS Addon and my resource config failed to apply, because CRD in operator is a version from 3 months ago and does not have helmCheck feature defined.

Describe what you expected: More recent version of operator to be available through EKS addon

Steps to reproduce the issue: Install Operator as EKS addon, try to add DatadogAgent like this:

apiVersion: datadoghq.com/v2alpha1
kind: DatadogAgent
metadata:
  name: datadog
spec:
  global:
    clusterName: something
    registry: public.ecr.aws/datadog
    credentials:
      apiSecret:
        secretName: datadog
        keyName: apiKey
  features:
    helmCheck:
      enabled: true

and see it fails:

Error from server (BadRequest): error when creating "dd.yaml": DatadogAgent in version "v2alpha1" cannot be handled as a DatadogAgent: strict decoding error: unknown field "spec.features.helmCheck"

Additional environment details (Operating System, Cloud provider, etc): AWS/EKS

Looking at the repo, it looks like EKS addon is treated as second-class citizen in it's own branch. Is that not recommended way to install it nowadays? Should I resort to installing via helm chart instead? Just trying to see what to expect going forward.

Hello, next addon version with Operator 1.7.0 is pending publishing. I don't have ETA as the process is owned by EKS team.
