ID 18575: Upgrade the MySQL database to version 8.0 for Keycloak version 16 or later
For Keycloak version 16 or higher, a MySQL updater routine is now used during the synchronization process (sync_system_state task to check whether the existing MySQL version matches the expected destination version when deploying an app, and whether an update to version 8 is required.
If an update of Keycloak’s MySQL database to version 8 is required, the update is performed.
