CNG verification on internal release template

The internal release template includes steps to build and verify the availability of these packages. One of the verification steps involves checking CNG images are available:

Internal link

However the link points out to:

• https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/charts/components/images/-/pipelines?ref=v17.8.4-internal0-ee
• https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/charts/components/images/-/pipelines?ref=v17.7.6-internal0-ee

The above link is invalid: Internal packages are tagless and don't use the -ee suffix.

This issue aims to validate how we can check if CNG images are available. For context, these images are generated when pipelines are triggered when building internal packages

Examples:

17.8

• Regular pipeline: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/charts/components/images/-/pipelines/369219
• UBI pipeline: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/charts/components/images/-/pipelines/369220
• FIPS pipeline: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/charts/components/images/-/pipelines/369221

17.7

• Regular pieline: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/charts/components/images/-/pipelines/369206
• UBI pipeline: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/charts/components/images/-/pipelines/369208
• FIPS pipeline: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/charts/components/images/-/pipelines/369209

One idea is to check the completion of such pipelines, however this may require automation as pipelines are not available when the release/task issue is created

Exit criteria

• internal release template is modified with a valid url, alongside instructions to find the related internal release pipelines on the CNG pipelines view.
