Currently, you need to specify the product version. This can be found on the xref:operators:supported_versions.adoc[list of supported product versions] or on the website of the product itself.

This requirement might be relaxed in the future, as every platform release will ship wth a recommended product versions, which will be used by default.

Additionally, you can specify the Stackable version: As we need to make changes to the Images from time to time (e.g. security updates), we also have to version them using the Stackable version. An image gets released for every version of the SDP.

2. Release line, e.g. `23.7`. This will be a floating tag pointing to the latest patch release of the SDP release line. It will contain the latest security patches, but will also change over time.

Additionally, as images must be updated from time to time (e.g. new base image, security updates), a Stackable version can be provided. An image with the Stackable version `23.7.0` is fixed and will never change. Security updates within a release line will result in patch version bumps in the Stackable version to e.g. `23.7.1`.

If you don't specify the Stackable version, the operator will use its own version, e.g. `23.7.0`.
