Bug Summary

Describe the bug:

The E2E testing is failing due to a number of external links in the documentation pages becoming unresponsive over time. This is likely the case of the referenced pages being moved or removed from the external sites.

To Reproduce:

Run the E2E testing: yarn nx affected --target=e2e --configuration=production --parallel=1

Expected behavior

All E2E test cases should pass and all links should return responses.

Any logs, error output, screenshots etc? Provide the devfile that sees this bug, if applicable

Suggestion on how to fix the bug

• An investigation into what are the new page links for the odo installation guide and the minikube quickstart guide
• Replace instances of https://odo.dev/docs/overview/installation with the replacement url
• Replace instances of https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/ with the replacement url
