Description

### Is your proposal related to a problem?

I frequently find myself manually updating Docker tags in my configurations to stay updated with the latest patch version of the Hasura GraphQL Engine. This manual process is prone to delays and errors, impacting the reliability and security of deployments.

### Describe the solution you'd like

I suggest publishing Docker images with major version tags (e.g., v2) that automatically track the latest v2.x.z release. This would allow users to always use the latest patch within a major version without manual updates.

### Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative is to continue manually updating to specific versions, but this is less efficient and can lead to missed updates.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how Hasura GraphQL Engine Docker images are published and how releases are tagged. Done means a major-version tag such as v2 tracks the latest v2.x.z release without requiring users to update the tag manually.
