[operations/deployment-charts@master] Update cxserver to 2022-10-18-161640-production
@UOzurumba I tested the patch locally and it looks fine. Should we deploy it to the test instance for a while (although, it is not suggested to use the Google MT key there!) or should I go ahead with the deployment?
