Update CRDs from v1beta1

OpenShift 4.9 and Kubernetes 1.22 will drop support for CRD v1beta1 from the API entirely. You must convert your CRD's to v1 to continue uninterrupted support for your operator in versions 4.9 and onward.

Please refer to this blog post which also covers API deprecation and required actions.
If your operator was removed from OpenShift v4.9 please also reference this blog post for additional actions that may be required.
The operator-sdk uses CustomResourceDefinition v1 by default for all automatically generated CRD's. However, v1beta1 CRD's were required for operator certification as recently as Q2 CY21 and are being deprecated as per the above warning. Thus, if your operator was certified prior to this timeframe and you haven't yet switched, then you should do so as soon as possible to so that your operator will be listed in OpenShift 4.9.
Edit each of your CRs as follows:
$ vi config/crd/bases/<your CRD filename>
Here's a sample CRD shown before and after conversion. The apiVersion is changed to v1, and the schema is now defined per CR version (in v1beta1, you could only define per-version schemas if they were  different).
Before:
my-crd.yaml
