How to do a Kata Containers Release

This document lists the tasks required to create a Kata Release.

Requirements

GitHub permissions to run workflows.

Release Process

Check GitHub Actions

We make use of GitHub actions in the minor and major files from the kata-containers/kata-containers repository to build and upload release artifacts.

Those actions are manually triggered and are responsible for generating a new release (including a new tag), pushing those to the kata-containers/kata-containers repository.

Check the actions status page to verify all steps in the actions workflow have completed successfully. On success, a static tarball containing Kata release artifacts will be uploaded to the Release page.

Improve the release notes

Release notes are auto-generated by the GitHub CLI tool used as part of our release workflow. However, some manual tweaking may still be necessary in order to highlight the most important features and bug fixes in a specific release.

With this in mind, please, poke @channel on #kata-dev and people who worked on the release will be able to contribute to that.

Announce the release

Publish in Slack and Kata mailing list that new release is ready.
