-## Code of Conduct
-
-Falco has a
-[Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
-to which all contributors must adhere, please read it before interacting with the repository or the community in any way.
-
-## Issues
-
-Issues are the heartbeat ❤️ of the Falco project, there are mainly three kinds of issues you can open:
-
- Bug report: you believe you found a problem in Falco and you want to discuss and get it fixed,
-creating an issue with the **bug report template** is the best way to do so.
- Enhancement: any kind of new feature need to be discussed in this kind of issue, do you want a new rule or a new feature? This is the kind of issue you want to open. Be very good at explaining your intent, it's always important that others can understand what you mean in order to discuss, be open and collaborative in letting others help you getting this done!
- Failing tests: you noticed a flaky test or a problem with a build? This is the kind of issue to triage that!
-
-The best way to get **involved** in the project is through issues, you can help in many ways:
-
- Issues triaging: participating in the discussion and adding details to open issues is always a good thing,
-sometimes issues need to be verified, you could be the one writing a test case to fix a bug!
- Helping to resolve the issue: you can help in getting it fixed in many ways, more often by opening a pull request.
-
-### Triage issues
-
-We need help in categorizing issues. Thus any help is welcome!
-
-When you triage an issue, you:
-
-* assess whether it has merit or not
-
-* quickly close it by correctly answering a question
-
-* point the reporter to a resource or documentation answering the issue
-
-* tag it via labels, projects, or milestones
-
-* take ownership submitting a PR for it, in case you want 😇
-
-#### More about labels
-
-These guidelines are not set in stone and are subject to change.
-
-Anyway a `kind/*` label for any issue is mandatory.
-
-This is the current [label set](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/labels) we have.
-
-You can use commands - eg., `/label <some-label>` to add (or remove) labels or manually do it.
-
-The commands available are the following ones:
-
-```
-/[remove-](area|kind|priority|triage|label)
-```
-
-Some examples:
-
-* `/area rules`
-* `/remove-area rules`
-* `/kind kernel-module`
-* `/label good-first-issue`
-* `/triage duplicate`
-* `/triage unresolved`
-* `/triage not-reproducible`
-* `/triage support`
-* ...
-
-### Slack
-
-Other discussion, and **support requests** should go through the `#falco` channel in the Kubernetes slack, please join [here](https://slack.k8s.io/).
-
-## Pull Requests
-
-Thanks for taking time to make a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests) (hereafter PR).
-
-In the PR body, feel free to add an area label if appropriate by typing `/area <AREA>`, PRs will also
-need a kind, make sure to specify the appropriate one by typing `/kind <KIND>`.
-
-The list of labels is [here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/labels).
-
-Also feel free to suggest a reviewer with `/cc @theirname`, or to assign an assignee using `/assign @nickname`.
-
-Once your reviewer is happy, they will say `/lgtm` which will apply the
-`lgtm` label, and will apply the `approved` label if they are an
-[owner](/OWNERS).
-
-Your PR will be automatically merged once it has the `lgtm` and `approved`
-labels, does not have any `do-not-merge/*` labels, and all status checks (eg., rebase, tests, DCO) are positive.
-
-### Commit convention
-
-As commit convention, we adopt [Conventional Commits v1.0.0](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/), we have an history
-of commits that do not adopt the convention but any new commit must follow it to be eligible for merge.
-
-#### Rule type
-
-Besides the classic types, we adopt a type for rules, `rule(<scope>):`.
-Example:
-
-```
-rule(Write below monitored dir): make sure monitored dirs are monitored.
-```
-
-Each rule change must be on its own commit, if a change to a macro is done while changing a rule they can go together but only one rule per commit must happen.
-
-If you are changing only a macro, the commit will look like this:
-
-```
-rule(macro user_known_write_monitored_dir_conditions): make sure conditions are great
-```
-
-## Coding Guidelines
-
-### C++
-
-* File `userspace/engine/banned.h` defines some functions as invalid tokens. These functions are not allowed to be used in the codebase. Whenever creating a new cpp file, include the `"banned.h"` headers. This ensures that the banned functions are not compiled.
-
-  A complete list of banned functions can be found [here](./userspace/engine/banned.h).
-
-## Developer Certificate Of Origin
-
-The [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/) is a lightweight way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to submit the code they are contributing to the project.
-
-Contributors to the Falco project sign-off that they adhere to these requirements by adding a `Signed-off-by` line to commit messages.
-
-```
-This is my commit message
-
-Signed-off-by: John Poiana <jpoiana@falco.org>
-```
-
-Git even has a `-s` command line option to append this automatically to your commit message:
-
-```
-$ git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'
-```

-Falco is a behavioral activity monitor designed to detect anomalous activity in your applications. Falco audits a system at the most fundamental level, the kernel. Falco then enriches this data with other input streams such as container runtime metrics, and Kubernetes metrics. Falco lets you continuously monitor and detect container, application, host, and network activity—all in one place—from one source of data, with one set of rules.
+The Falco Project, originally created by [Sysdig](https://sysdig.com), is an incubating [CNCF](https://cncf.io) open source cloud native runtime security tool.
+Falco makes it easy to consume kernel events, and enrich those events with information from Kubernetes and the rest of the cloud native stack.
+Falco has a rich rule set of security rules specifically built for Kubernetes, Linux, and cloud-native.
+If a rule is violated in a system, Falco will send an alert notifying the user of the violation and its severity.

-Falco is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a sandbox level project. If you are an organization that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details read the [Falco CNCF project proposal](https://github.com/cncf/toc/tree/master/proposals/falco.adoc).
+### Installing Falco

-#### What kind of behaviors can Falco detect?
+If you would like to run Falco in **production** please adhere to the [official installation guide](https://falco.org/docs/installation/).

-Falco can detect and alert on any behavior that involves making Linux system calls. Falco alerts can be triggered by the use of specific system calls, their arguments, and by properties of the calling process. For example, Falco can easily detect incidents including but not limited to:
+##### Kubernetes

- A shell is running inside a container.

+
+### Developing
+
+Falco is designed to be extensible such that it can be built into cloud-native applications and infrastructure.
+
+Falco has a [gRPC](https://falco.org/docs/grpc/) endpoint and an API defined in [protobuf](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/update-readme/userspace/falco/outputs.proto).
+The Falco Project supports various SDKs for this endpoint.

+Falco alerts can be triggered by the use of specific system calls, their arguments, and by properties of the calling process.
+For example, Falco can easily detect incidents including but not limited to:
+
+- A shell is running inside a container or pod in Kubernetes.
 - A container is running in privileged mode, or is mounting a sensitive path, such as `/proc`, from the host.
 - A server process is spawning a child process of an unexpected type.
 - Unexpected read of a sensitive file, such as `/etc/shadow`.
 - A non-device file is written to `/dev`.
 - A standard system binary, such as `ls`, is making an outbound network connection.

+### Documentation

-### Installing Falco
+The [Official Documentation](https://falco.org/docs/) is the best resource to learn about Falco.

-You can find the latest release downloads on the official [release archive](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity)
-
-Furthermore the comprehensive [installation guide](https://falco.org/docs/installation/) for Falco is available in the documentation website.
-
-#### How do you compare Falco with other security tools?
-
-One of the questions we often get when we talk about Falco is “How does Falco differ from other Linux security tools such as SELinux, AppArmor, Auditd, etc.?”. We wrote a [blog post](https://sysdig.com/blog/selinux-seccomp-falco-technical-discussion/) comparing Falco with other tools.

+A release happens every two months ([as per community discussion](https://github.com/falcosecurity/community/blob/master/meeting-notes/2020-09-30.md#agenda)), and we need to assign owners for each (usually we pair a new person with an experienced one). Assignees and the due date are proposed during the [weekly community call](https://github.com/falcosecurity/community). Note that hotfix releases can happen as soon as it is needed.

 Finally, on the proposed due date the assignees for the upcoming release proceed with the processes described below.

 ## Pre-Release Checklist

+Before cutting a release we need to do some homework in the Falco repository. This should take 5 minutes using the GitHub UI.
+
 ### 1. Release notes
- Let `YYYY-MM-DD` the day before of the [latest release](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/releases)
+- Find the LAST release (-1) and use `YYYY-MM-DD` as the day before of the [latest release](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/releases)
 - Check the release note block of every PR matching the `is:pr is:merged closed:>YYYY-MM-DD` [filter](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+closed%3A%3EYYYY-MM-DD)
    - Ensure the release note block follows the [commit convention](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#commit-convention), otherwise fix its content
    - If the PR has no milestone, assign it to the milestone currently undergoing release
- Check issues without a milestone (using [is:pr is:merged no:milestone closed:>YYYT-MM-DD](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+no%3Amilestone+closed%3A%3EYYYT-MM-DD) filter) and add them to the milestone currently undergoing release
- Double-check that there are no more merged PRs without the target milestone assigned with the `is:pr is:merged no:milestone closed:>YYYT-MM-DD` [filters](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+no%3Amilestone+closed%3A%3EYYYT-MM-DD), if any, fix them

+# Falco Artifacts Storage
+
+This document reflects the way we store the Falco artifacts.
+
+## Terms & Definitions
+
+- [Falco artifacts](./20200506-artifacts-scope-part-1.md)
+- Bintray: artifacts distribution platform
+
+## Packages
+
+The Falco packages are **automatically** built and sent to [bintray](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity) in the following cases:
+
+- a pull request gets merged into the master branch (**Falco development releases**)
+- a new Falco release (git tag) happens on the master branch (**Falco stable releases**)
+
+The only prerequisite is that the specific Falco source code builds successfully and that the tests pass.
+
+As per [Falco Artifacts Scope (#1)](./20200506-artifacts-scope-part-1.md) proposal we provide three kind of Falco packages:
+
+- DEB
+- RPM
+- Tarball
+
+Thus, we have three repositories for the Falco stable releases:
+
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/deb
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/rpm
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin
+
+And three repositories for the Falco development releases:
+
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/deb-dev
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/rpm-dev
+- https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin-dev
+
+## Drivers
+
+The process of publishing a set of prebuilt Falco drivers is implemented by the **Drivers Build Grid (DBG)** in the [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/tree/master/driverkit) repository (`driverkit` directory).
+
+This process is driven by the configuration files (YAML) present in the `driverkit/config` directory in the [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/tree/master/driverkit) repository.
+
+Each of these files represents a prebuilt driver (eventually two: kernel module and eBPF probe, when possible) that will be published on [bintray](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity) if it builds correctly.
+
+Every time the `driverkit/config` directory on the master branch has some changes from the previous commit the CI system, which you can find defined in the [.circleci/config.yml](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml) file, takes care of building and publishing all the drivers.
+
+The driver versions we ship prebuilt drivers for are:
+
+- the driver version associated with the last Falco stable version ([see here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/c4b7f17271d1a4ca533b2e672ecaaea5289ccdc5/cmake/modules/sysdig.cmake#L29))
+- the driver version associated with the penultimate Falco stable version
+
+The prebuilt drivers get published into [this](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/driver) generic artifacts repository.
+
+You can also visualize the full list of prebuilt drivers by driver version visiting this [URL](https://dl.bintray.com/falcosecurity/driver).
+
+### Notice
+
+The generation of new prebuilt drivers takes usually place with a frequency of 1-2 weeks, on a **best-effort** basis.
+
+Thus, it can happen the list of available prebuilt drivers does not yet contain the driver version currently on Falco master.
+
+Nevertheless, this process is an open, auditable, and transparent one.
+
+So, by sending a pull-request towards [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra) repository containing the configuration YAML files you can help the Falco community stay on track.
+
+Some pull-requests you can look at to create your own are:
+
+- https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/pull/165
+- https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/pull/163
+- https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/pull/162
+
+While, the documentation of the YAML configuration files can be found [here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/driverkit/blob/master/README.md).
+
+## Container images
+
+As per Falco packages, also the Falco official container images are **automatically** published to the [dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/falcosecurity/falco).
+
+These images are built and published in two cases:
+
+- a pull request gets merged into the master branch (**Falco development releases**)
+- a new Falco release (git tag) happens (**Falco stable releases**)
+
+For a detailed explanation of the container images we build and ship look at the following [documentation](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/master/docker/README.md).

+# Falco Artifacts Cleanup
+
+This document reflects when and how we clean up the Falco artifacts from their storage location.
+
+## Motivation
+
+The [bintray](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity) open-source plan offers 10GB free space for storing artifacts.
+
+They also kindly granted us an additional 5GB of free space.
+
+## Goal
+
+Keep the storage space usage under 15GB by cleaning up the [Falco artifacts](./20200506-artifacts-scope-part-1.md) from the [storage](./20200818-artifacts-storage).
+
+## Status
+
+To be implemented.
+
+## Packages
+
+### Tarballs from Falco master
+
+At the moment of writing this document, this kind of Falco package requires approx. 50MB (maximum detected size) of storage space.
+
+Since, historically, the [bin-dev](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin-dev) repository is the less used one, this document proposes to keep only the last 10 **Falco development releases** it contains.
+
+This means that the [bin-dev](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin-dev) repository will take at maximum 500MB of storage space.
+
+### DEB from Falco master
+
+At the moment of writing this document, this kind of Falco package requires approx. 5.1MB (maximum detected size) of storage space.
+
+Historically, every Falco release is composed by less than 50 merges (upper limit).
+
+So, to theoretically retain all the **Falco development releases** that led to a Falco stable release, this document proposes to keep the last 50 Falco DEB packages.
+
+This means that the [deb-dev](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/deb-dev) repository will take at maximum 255MB of storage space.
+
+### RPM from Falco master
+
+At the moment of writing this document, this kind of Falco package requires approx. 4.3MB (maximum detected size) of storage space.
+
+For the same exact reasons explained above this document proposes to keep the last 50 Falco RPM packages.
+
+This means that the [rpm-dev](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/rpm-dev) repository will take at maximum 215MB of storage space.
+
+### Stable releases
+
+This document proposes to retain all the stable releases.
+
+This means that all the Falco packages present in the Falco stable release repositories will be kept.
+
+The [bin](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/bin) repository contains a Falco tarball package for every release.
+This means it grows in space of ~50MB each month.
+
+The [deb](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/deb) repository contains a Falco DEB package for every release.
+This means it grows in space of ~5MB each month.
+
+The [rpm](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/rpm) repository contains a Falco RPM package for every release.
+This means it grows in space of ~4.3MB each month.
+
+### Considerations
+
+Assuming the size of the packages does not surpass the numbers listed in the above sections, the **Falco development releases** will always take less that 1GB of artifacts storage space.
+
+Assuming 12 stable releases at year, at the current size of packages, the **Falco stable releases** will take approx. 720MB of storage space every year.
+
+### Implementation
+
+The Falco CI will have a new CI job - called `cleanup/packages-dev` - responsible for removing the **Falco development releases** depending on the above plan.
+
+This job will be triggered after the `publish/packages-dev` completed successfully.
+
+## Drivers
+
+As explained in the [Artifacts Storage](./20200818-artifacts-storage) proposal, we build the drivers for the **last two driver versions** associated with **latest Falco stable releases**.
+Then, we store those drivers into a [generic bintray repository](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/driver) from which the installation process automatically downloads them, if suitable.
+
+This document proposes to implement a cleanup mechanism that deletes all the other driver versions available.
+
+At the moment of writing, considering only the last two driver versions (**ae104eb**, **85c8895**) associated with the latest Falco stable releases, we ship ~340 eBPF drivers, each accounting for ~3.1MB of storage space, and 1512 kernel modules (~3.1MB size each, too).
+
+Thus, we obtain an estimate of approx. 2.875GB for **each** driver version.
+
+This document proposes to only store the last two driver versions associates with the latest Falco stable releases. And deleting the other ones.
+
+This way, assuming the number of prebuilt drivers does not skyrocket, we can reasonably estimate the storage space used by prebuilt drivers to be around 6GB.
+
+Notice that, in case a Falco stable release will not depend on a new driver version, this means the last two driver versions will, in this case, cover more than the two Falco stable releases.
+
+### Archivation
+
+Since the process of building drivers is time and resource consuming, this document also proposes to move the driver versions in other storage facilities.
+
+The candidate is an AWS S3 bucket responsible for holding the deleted driver version files.
+
+### Implementation
+
+The [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra) CI, specifically its part dedicated to run the **Drivers Build Grid** that runs every time it detects changes into the `driverkit` directory of the [test-infra](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra) repository,
+will have a new job - called `drivers/cleanup` - responsible for removing all the Falco driver versions except the last two.
+
+This job will be triggered after the `drivers/publish` completed successfully on the master branch.

+# Falco Drivers Storage S3
+
+## Introduction
+
+In the past days, as many people probably noticed, Bintray started rate-limiting our users, effectively preventing them from downloading any kernel module, rpm/deb package or any pre-built dependency we host there.
+
+This does not only interrupt the workflow of our users but also the workflow of the contributors, since without bintray most of our container images and CMake files can’t download the dependencies we mirror.
+
+### What is the cause?
+
+We had a spike in adoption apparently, either a user with many nodes or an increased number of users. We don’t know this detail specifically yet because bintray does not give us very fine-grained statistics on this.
+
+This is the 30-days history:
+
+![A spike on driver downloads the last ten days](20201025-drivers-storage-s3_downloads.png)
+
+As you can see, we can only see that they downloaded the latest kernel module driver version, however we can’t see if:
+
+* It’s a single source or many different users
+
+* What is the kernel/OS they are using
+
+### What do we host on Bintray?
+
+* RPM packages: high traffic but very manageable ~90k downloads a month
+
+* Deb packages:low traffic ~5k downloads a month
+
+* Pre-built image Dependencies: low traffic, will eventually disappear in the future
+
+* Kernel modules: very high traffic, 700k downloads in 10 days, this is what is causing the current problems. They are primarily used by users of our container images.
+
+* eBPF probes: low traffic ~5k downloads a month
+
+### Motivations to go to S3 instead of Bintray for the Drivers
+
+Bintray does an excellent service at building the rpm/deb structures for us, however we also use them for S3-like storage for the drivers. We have ten thousand files hosted there and the combinations are infinite.
+
+
+Before today, we had many issues with storage even without the spike in users we are seeing since the last ten days.
+
+## Context on AWS
+
+Amazon AWS, recently gave credits to the Falco project to operate some parts of the infrastructure on AWS. The CNCF is providing a sub-account we are already using for the migration of the other pieces (like Prow). 
+
+## Interactions with other teams and the CNCF
+
+* The setup on the AWS account side already done, this is all technical work.
+
+* We need to open a CNCF service account ticket for the download.falco.org subdomain to point to the S3 bucket we want to use
+
+## The Plan
+
+We want to propose to move the drivers and the container dependencies to S3.
+
+#### Moving means:
+
+* We create a public S3 bucket with[ stats enabled](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/analytics-storage-class.html)
+
+* We attach the bucket to a cloudfront distribution behind the download.falco.org subdomain
+
+* We move the current content keeping the same web server directory structure
+
+* We change the Falco Dockerfiles and driver loader script accordingly
+
+* We update test-infra to push the drivers to S3
+
+* Once we have the drivers in S3, we can ask bintray to relax the limits for this month so that our users are able to download the other packages we keep there. Otherwise they will have to wait until November 1st. We only want to do that after the moving because otherwise we will hit the limits pretty quickly.
+
+#### The repositories we want to move are:
+
+* [https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/driver](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/driver) will become https://download.falco.org/driver
+
+* [https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/dependencies](https://bintray.com/falcosecurity/dependencies) will become https://download.falco.org/dependencies
+
+#### Changes in Falco
+
+* [Search for bintray ](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/search?p=2&q=bintray)on the Falco repo and replace the URL for the CMake and Docker files.
+
+* It’s very important to change the DRIVERS_REPO environment variable [here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/0a33f555eb8e019806b46fea8b80a6302a935421/CMakeLists.txt#L86) - this is what updates the falco-driver-loader scripts that the users and container images use to fetch the module
+
+#### Changes in Test Infra
+
+* We need to use the S3 cli instead of jfrog cli to upload to the s3 bucket after building [here](https://github.com/falcosecurity/test-infra/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml)
+
+* We can probably remove jfrog from that repo since it only deals with drivers and drivers are being put on S3 now
+
+* Instructions on how to setup the S3 directory structure [here](https://falco.org/docs/installation/#install-driver)
+
+    * `/$driver_version$/falco_$target$_$kernelrelease$_$kernelversion$.[ko|o]`
+
+#### Changes to Falco website
+
+* Changes should not be necessary, we are not updating the way people install Falco but only the driver. The driver is managed by a script we can change.
+
+## Mitigation and next steps for the users
+
+* **The average users should be good to go now, Bintray raised our limits and we have some room to do this without requiring manual steps on your end**
+
+* **Users that can’t wait for us to have the S3 setup done: **can setup an S3 as driver repo themselves, push the drivers they need to it after compiling them (they can use [Driverkit](https://github.com/falcosecurity/driverkit) for that) Instructions on how to setup the S3 directory structure [here](https://falco.org/docs/installation/#install-driver).
+
+* **Users that can’t wait but don’t want to setup a webserver themselves**: the falco-driver-loader script can also compile the module for you. Make sure to install the kernel-headers on your nodes.
+
+* **Users that can wait** we will approve this document and act on the plan described here by providing the DRIVERS_REPO at  [https://download.falco.org/driver](https://download.falco.org/driver) that then you can use
+
+### How to use an alternative DRIVERS_REPO ?
+
+**On bash:**
+
+export DRIVERS_REPO=https://your-url-here
+
+**Docker**
+
+Pass it as environment variable using the docker run flag -e - for example:
+
+docker run -e DRIVERS_REPO=[https://your-url-here](https://your-url-here) 
+
+**Kubernetes**
+
+spec:
+
+  containers:
+
+  - env:
+
+    - name: DRIVERS_REPO
+
+      value: https://your-url-here
+
+## Release
+
+Next release is on December 1st, we want to rollout a hotfix 0.26.2 release that only contains the updated script before that date so that users don’t get confused and we can just tell them "update Falco" to get the thing working again.
