v2.17.0

⚠️ Upgrading the cluster-operator to this version will update RabbitMQ clusters (i.e. will cause rolling update of the underlying StatefulSets).
If you want to control when a RabbitMQ cluster gets updated, make sure to pause reconciliation before upgrading the cluster-operator.
After upgrading the cluster-operator, resume reconciliation whenever it's safe to update the RabbitMQ cluster.
See Pause reconciliation for a RabbitMQ cluster.

Enhanced Security Context

The cluster operator now has a security context, and sets an enhanced security context for RabbitMQ clusters. For users on OpenShift and other cases where the security context is overridden, please make use of our updated example.
