feat: Added Deploy-v2 pipeline with manual dispatch and input parameter support and Updated Smoke Testing scenarios

[Vamshi-Microsoft]

Purpose

This pull request introduces several improvements and enhancements across the infrastructure, documentation, and test automation codebases. The major highlights include parameterizing container image registry and tag for deployments, updating documentation to reflect new configuration options, and improving the structure and clarity of end-to-end test automation scripts and reporting.

Infrastructure and Deployment Improvements:

• Added parameters for container registry endpoint and image tag (publicContainerImageEndpoint, imageTag) to infra/main.bicep, and updated all container app modules to use these parameters for image references instead of hardcoding the registry and tag. This allows more flexible and configurable deployments. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
• Updated deployment parameter files (infra/main.parameters.json, infra/main.waf.parameters.json) to accept and pass through the new container registry and image tag parameters, as well as the Azure region. [1] [2]

Documentation Updates:

• Added documentation for the new parameters (AZURE_ENV_CONTAINER_REGISTRY_ENDPOINT, AZURE_ENV_CONTAINER_IMAGE_TAG, AZURE_LOCATION) in docs/CustomizingAzdParameters.md, providing guidance on their usage and default values.

Test Automation Enhancements:

• Introduced a new GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/test-automation-v2.yml) to automate end-to-end content processing tests, supporting retries, environment configuration, and detailed test reporting.
• Improved the base page object (tests/e2e-test/base/base.py) and login page object (tests/e2e-test/pages/loginPage.py) by adding docstrings, argument documentation, and return value descriptions for better maintainability and clarity. [1] [2] [3]
• Enhanced test configuration and reporting:
  • Added a marker for Golden Path tests in pytest.ini.
  • Improved environment variable handling in config/constants.py.
  • Refined logging setup and HTML report customization in conftest.py, including renaming columns and improving logger usage. [1] [2] [3] [4]

These changes collectively make the deployment process more flexible, the documentation more comprehensive, and the test automation framework more robust and maintainable.

Does this introduce a breaking change?

• Yes
• No

Golden Path Validation

• I have tested the primary workflows (the "golden path") to ensure they function correctly without errors.

Deployment Validation

• I have validated the deployment process successfully and all services are running as expected with this change.
