Adapt 16.8 Release Issue to include year-end GitLab.com deployment plan
Context
Between December 22nd 2023 (23:00 UTC) and January 2nd 2024 (09:00 UTC) we will have a Hard Production Change Lock due to low team member availability.
To reduce the risk related to commits piling up and have big deployment after the PCL and to guarantee a good posture to have a Security Patch Release on the first week of January 2024, Delivery Group will execute a minimum amount of deployments to gprd
.
The agreed plan is: #19815 (closed)
This issue is to add the plan to the Release 16.8 Issue after it is created on 2023-12-22
Exit Criteria
-
Year-end 2023 Deployment Plan is added to 16.8 Release Issue, specifying the exceptions issues created for it.
