[cdesiniotis]

Release Process

The NVIDIA Container Toolkit consists of the following artifacts:

• The NVIDIA Container Toolkit container
• Packages for debian-based systems
• Packages for rpm-based systems

Release Process Checklist:

• Create a release PR:
  • Run the ./hack/prepare-release.sh script to update the version in all the needed files. This also creates a release issue
  • Run the ./hack/generate-changelog.sh script to generate the a draft changelog and update CHANGELOG.md with the changes.
  • Create a PR from the created bump-release-{{ .VERSION }} branch.
• Merge the release PR
• Tag the release and push the tag to the internal mirror:
• Wait for the image release to complete.
• Push the tag to the the upstream GitHub repo.
• Wait for the Release GitHub Action to complete
• Publish the draft release created by the GitHub Action
• Publish the packages to the gh-pages branch of the libnvidia-container repo
• Create a KitPick
• For non-experimental releases, schedule the package for publication to the CUDA Downloads repositories.

Troubleshooting

Note: This assumes that we have the release tag checked out locally.

• If the Release GitHub Action fails:
  • Check the logs for the error first.
  • Create the helm packages locally by running:

    ./hack/prepare-artifacts.sh {{ .VERSION }}

  • Create the draft release by running:

    ./hack/create-release.sh {{ .VERSION }}
