Backport policy¶
Usually, only important bug fixes are eligible for being backported. This may depend on the situation and assessment of the maintainers.
CI/CD¶
We use GitHub actions for our CI/CD. Every merge to a supported branch, or a creation of a tag will automatically trigger a job to build, test and publish the container image and other artifacts like helm charts. Before we publish any image, it must pass the e2e suite.
Automated promotions¶
| Git reference | Type | Container image |
|---|---|---|
| master | branch | docker.io/scylladb/scylla-operator:latest |
| vX.Y | branch | docker.io/scylladb/scylla-operator:X.Y |
| vX.Y.Z | tag | docker.io/scylladb/scylla-operator:X.Y.Z |
| vX.Y.Z-alpha.N | tag | docker.io/scylladb/scylla-operator:X.Y.Z-alpha.N |

| vX.Y.Z-rc.N | tag | docker.io/scylladb/scylla-operator:X.Y.Z-rc.N |
Generally available¶
GA images aren’t build from scratch but rather promoted from an existing release candidates. When we decide a release candidate has the acceptable quality and QA sings it off, the release candidate is promoted to become the GA release. This makes sure the image has exactly the same content and SHA as the tested release candidate.
Support matrix¶
