Create an operator bundle image
The 'operator-sdk bundle create' command will build an operator bundle image containing operator metadata and manifests, tagged with the provided image tag.
To write all files required to build a bundle image without building the image, set '--generate-only=true'. A bundle Dockerfile, bundle metadata, and a 'manifests/' directory containing your bundle manifests will be written if '--generate-only=true':
$ operator-sdk bundle create --generate-only --directory ./deploy/olm-catalog/test-operator/0.1.0 $ ls . ... bundle.Dockerfile ... $ tree ./deploy/olm-catalog/test-operator/ └── 0.1.0 └── example.com_tests_crd.yaml └── test-operator.v0.1.0.clusterserviceversion.yaml └── manifests └── example.com_tests_crd.yaml └── test-operator.v0.1.0.clusterserviceversion.yaml └── metadata └── annotations.yaml
'--generate-only' is useful if you want to build an operator's bundle image manually, modify metadata before building an image, or want to generate a 'manifests/' directory containing your operator manifests for compatibility with other operator tooling.

NOTE: bundle images are not runnable.
operator-sdk bundle create [flags]
The following invocation will build a test-operator 0.1.0 bundle image using Docker.
This image will contain manifests for package channels 'stable' and 'beta':
$ operator-sdk bundle create quay.io/example/test-operator:v0.1.0 \
--directory ./deploy/olm-catalog/test-operator/0.1.0 \
--package test-operator \
--channels stable,beta \
--default-channel stable
Assuming your operator has the same name as your repo directory and the only
channel is 'stable', the above command can be abbreviated to:
$ operator-sdk bundle create quay.io/example/test-operator:v0.1.0 \
--directory ./deploy/olm-catalog/test-operator/0.1.0
The following invocation will generate test-operator bundle metadata, a
'manifests/' dir, and Dockerfile for your latest operator version without
building the image:
$ operator-sdk bundle create \
--generate-only \
--directory ./deploy/olm-catalog/test-operator/0.1.0 \
--package test-operator \
--channels beta \
--default-channel beta
-c, --channels string The comma-separated list of channels that bundle image belongs to (default "stable")
-e, --default-channel string The default channel for the bundle image
-d, --directory string The directory where bundle manifests are located, ex. <project-root>/deploy/olm-catalog/test-operator/0.1.0
-g, --generate-only Generate metadata/, manifests/ and a Dockerfile on disk without building the bundle image
-h, --help help for create
-b, --image-builder string Tool to build container images. One of: [docker, podman, buildah] (default "docker")
-o, --output-dir string Optional output directory for operator manifests
--overwrite Overwrite bundle.Dockerfile, manifests and metadata dirs if they exist. If --output-dir is also set, the original files will not be overwritten
-p, --package string The name of the package that bundle image belongs to. Set if package name differs from project name
-t, --tag string The path of a registry to pull from, image name and its tag that present the bundle image (e.g. quay.io/test/test-operator:v0.1.0)
