Continuous Integration: Releases Manager
From Gcube Wiki
Contents
Responsibilities
The Release Manager is in charge of:
- Declaring when a gCube release is open and when it is closed
- Launching the build of the gCube Pipeline
- Maintaining the Pipeline Definition
Jenkins Activities
Launch the Pipeline
In Jenkins:
- select the gCubeRelease project
- on the left side, click on 'Build with Parameters'
- select the type of build we want to generate in the choice menu
- click on the 'Build' button
Type of Build
The Pipeline project can be launched in 4 different ways (Type parameter):
- SNAPSHOT-DRY-RUN (default)
- build snapshot artifacts, install the artifacts in a local repo, do not deploy
- SNAPSHOT
- build snapshot artifacts, install the artifacts in a local repo, deploy the artifacts to the gcube-snapshots Maven Repository
- RELEASE-DRY-RUN
- build release artifacts, install the artifacts in a local repo, do not deploy
- RELEASE
- build snapshot artifacts, install the artifacts in a local repo, deploy the artifacts to the gcube-releases Maven Repository
The idea behind these builds is that the Release Manager can test the full pipeline execution with the DRY-RUN builds. Once all the projects in the build work, the SNAPSHOT or RELEASE build can be launched to effectively deploy the artifacts on the remote Maven Repository.
