Story (Required)

As a QE trying to automate the z stream releases, I want to add Operator upgrade task as part of downstream CI

Background (Required)

As of now, we do not have any automated way of testing operator upgrade and it adds to manual effort spent by QE team. By automating operator upgrade task, we can deliver faster results

Out of scope

Openshift upgrade is not covered as part of this story

Approach (Required)

• Find a way to accommodate both direct installation and upgrade
• Create necessary secrets in the bootstrap cluster 
• Write a task for upgrading operator
• Add the task into acceptance Pipeline
• Upgrade path for all the supported operator version should be connected (Example: v1.8.z upgrade path should be tested from v1.6.z )

Dependencies

N/A

Acceptance Criteria (Mandatory)

• Acceptance test pipeline is passing for upgrade test 
• Upgrade task is not breaking the further execution
