[jim-krueger]

The information you provide here will be included in the Open Liberty GA release blog post (example), which will be published on openliberty.io/blog/, and potentially elsewhere, to promote this newly released feature/function of Open Liberty. For this post to be included in the GA issue please make sure that this is completed by the end of Friday following the GM (Wednesday). The beta and release blogs are created using automation and rely on you following the template's structure. DO NOT REMOVE/ALTER THE <GHA> TAGS THROUGHOUT THIS TEMPLATE.

Please provide the following information:

1. If this was previously published in a beta blog post, then provide the link to that OpenLiberty/open-liberty beta blog post issue on the next line between the <GHA-BLOG-BETA-LINK> tags. If nothing has changed since the beta, you're done and can omit the remaining steps. If you need to make updates/alterations to the beta content, then do all the steps.
