Release Process

This document describes the process of created and publishing an Ansible Tower release.

Time for a release

When the time comes for a release, the first step is to tag the release in git.

# git tag <X.Y.Z>

Monitor Jenkins

Once tagged, Jenkins will take care of the following steps. The jenkins job Release_Tower will detect the recent tag, and initiate the OFFICIAL=yes build process.

The following jobs will be triggered:

• Build_Tower_TAR
• Build_Tower_DEB
  • Build_Tower_AMI
• Build_Tower_RPM
• Build_Tower_Docs

Should any build step fail, Jenkins will emit a message in IRC and set the build status to failed.

Publishing Builds

Upon successful completion, jenkins will publish build artifacts to the following locations:

• http://releases.ansible.com/ansible-tower/rpm
• http://releases.ansible.com/ansible-tower/deb
• http://releases.ansible.com/ansible-tower/setup
