Stop using deprecated functions from k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait

[brandond]

Upstream kubernetes deprecated several of the wait.Poll functions in 1.27.

Once 1.26 is end-of-life, we should replace all use of deprecated functions with the suggested 1.27+ replacements, and backport that change to all active branches.

I'd like to take this on if that's ok?

[brandond]

Sure! Note that we don't want to this until after the final 1.26 release, which should be in February I believe. Although upstream sometimes gives us bonus releases if there are regressions or vulns. So basically until after a month has gone by with no 1.26 patch.

[willdot]

That's no problem, I'm just looking for things to get stuck into when I get some free time :)

[willdot]

Guessing this still can't be completed due to a 1.26 release 2 weeks ago?

[brandond]

Yeah, we'll have to see if we get a 1.26 release in March. If not, then we can move forward with this.

[willdot]

The last 1.26 release was 14th March so it’s been over a month now.

[brandond]

Yeah, maybe we can do this for June. We are likely not doing anything additional for May due to delays in updating some of our frameworks to 1.30.

Can i take this?

[brandond]

Not moving to to-test since this is all tech debt / dropping deprecated internal function calls and there is nothing for QA to validate.

Closing issue as QA is not needed.
