• MDCB: Updated liveness and readiness probes

  Updated MDCB liveness and readiness probes to /liveness and /readiness respectively. These endpoints are available from MDCB v2.7.0. If you are deploying an earlier version of MDCB, please update the paths to /health in values.yaml file. For more details about new endpoints, check MDCB Health check section.

Fixed

• Portal: Ingress resource should not be created if not enabled

  Fixed the issue that when Developer Portal component is enabled, an Ingress resource is being created, although Portal Ingress is not enabled.
