Should we update spring-boot-maven-plugin or something else?
When relates to such a 'big' update, we have to be very cautious

Good question! I've verified that the current approach is correct and follows Spring Boot best practices:

  1. spring-boot-maven-plugin already uses ${spring-boot.version} (line 451), so it automatically updates to 2.7.18
  2. spring-boot-dependencies BOM uses ${spring-boot.version} (line 264), which manages all Spring Boot dependency versions automatically
  3. Spring Cloud version 2021.0.5 is compatible with Spring Boot 2.7.x

The project's dependency management setup ensures all Spring Boot components are consistently versioned when the main property is updated. No additional updates are needed.

<spring-cloud.version>2021.0.5</spring-cloud.version>
