Mojaloop Helm release v16.0.0

[elnyry-sam-k]

Goal:

As a ML OSS adopter

I want to have a Mojaloop release v16.0.0 (version to be confirmed as part of the story) that is successfully validated by the Golden path tests

so that I can adopt and use a version of Mojaloop Switch services bundle that is tested and contains the latest features enhancements and bug fixes added in PI-22, 23 (includes Batching and other performance enhancements)

Acceptance Criteria:

• Update "APP VERSION" for each chart.yaml
• Helm RC Release is validated on Moja2 to achieve 100% result with TTK GoldenPath
• Helm RC Release is validated with PISP provisioning and test collection (TTK) with 100%
• Helm RC Release is validated with Bulk test collection (TTK) with 100%
• QA (Golden path) on deployments done on AWS Moja2 environment is done
• Bugs are logged based on observations, failures
• Bugs logged are fixed if critical to make subsequent releases in individual services (or Helm)
• All the changes needed for supporting the Helm Release are done
• Helm chart is published
• Release notes are published
• Test cases are published (TTK)
• TTK tests run successfully as Post-Hook jobs and Tests

Notes:

Complexity: Medium - Involves all core and supporting services
Uncertainty: Medium

Tasks:

• Deploy, validate RC on AWS Moja2
• Identify issues with QA Scripts if any - fix them and retest
• QA for bugs, regressions, log them
• Fix bugs logged if critical

    • SDK Bulk collection
    • SDK R2P collection
  • Validation using CGS Golden path regression tests etc on Moja2
  • Test upgradability from previous release
