Is there any reason we use kubectl tarball instead of installing it with alpine package manager

[DamienLGRCA]

Hello, thank you all for your excellent work!

In the Dockerfile, we are using a downloaded kubectl tarball with a fixed version:

shell-operator/Dockerfile

Line 25 in 3eeed3d

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.27.13/bin/${kubectlArch}/kubectl -O /bin/kubectl && \

The Alpine 3.21 version currently in use allows us to install kubectl 1.31.5-r2 via the APK package manager and fixes some CVEs.

Is there a good reason to keep the version specified in the Dockerfile?

Thanks.
