@n2h9 pls review my PR

It does not look like a finished work 🤷‍♀️ .

There are bunch of changes which are probably not related, or at least there is no description why they are needed.
Integration test is failing, it has ImagePullBackOff for broker deployment.

Could you please

• add a brief description in pr why all this changes are needed;
• fix the integration test;

Thank you 🙇‍♀️

A small hint, I think this task should not require to update much code, try to just update image tags and check if it works.
