1. Merge ready PRs
2. Create a new branch release/v1.3.0 to prepare the following things:
   1. Use Build micro-service manual and run the pipeline once for each micro-service with the following parameters:
      • branch: release/v1.3.0
      • Container image tag: v1.3.0
      • Version of the image to build: 1.3.0
   2. Use Build operator manual and run the pipeline once with the following parameters:
      • branch: release/v1.3.0
      • Container image tag: v1.3.0
   3. Review and update changelog with all changes since last release. GitHub's diff view helps a lot!
