Application Image Resilience

[warrenchristian1telus]

To prevent any further issues with images being moved or removed from their expected locations (such as what recently happened with KeyCloak) we are recommended to build and/or deploy our base images to a repository we control.

We already have one setup on artifacts.developer.gov.bc.ca for all OpenShift projects, which we can leverage for this purpose.

The main focus of this ticket will be to create relevant workflows to build/copy each deployment image to the respective dev, test and prod locations to ensure that each image can be accessed until we change it.

This will mainly work to make our application more resilient by ensuring that all of our base images are in place and remain there during and after deployment. Eliminating any cases where a server or cluster restart or crash may lead to an unavailable image causing a crash loop and bringing down all or part of the application.
