Testing

• Start and stop a workspace
• Download changed workspace files from the dashboard
• with clean slate deploy works (Installer)
• with clean slate deploy works with-helm (Helm)
• with-observability works (with-helm never loads on all pods...is this a current issue or did I break it?)
• works in GKE (test due to code changes to honor PSP)
• test jetbrains IDE

FYI

• Work to validate cluster backups and prepare the nodes with new labels is in [core-dev] - Prepare environment for Installer #6806
