Implementation plan

• In the Container Scanning analyzer
  • Note: A temporary v7.x branch has been created to stage upcoming changes in advance.
  • Ensure there is a v6.x branch pointing to master (right before the bump of next step)
  • Bump the version to 7.0.0 in master
  • Rebase the v7.x branch onto master
  • Merge the v7.x branch into master. This should publish a new container image with tag 7
  • Update Trigger DB update scheduled job to include version 7 in TRIGGER_DB_UPDATE_FOR_MAJOR_VERSIONS
• In GitLab rails project
  • Update CI templates to use version 7
