hi, anybody know when a new release for the fluent-operator will be created which points to fluent-bit 2.1.7 ?

In a few days, a new fluent operator release with fluentbit 2.17 will be out @elon cheng

I've already upgraded fluentbit to 2.1.6, and I'll be updating to 2.1.7 and releasing a new version shortly thereafter.

thanks @elon cheng!
