-### release-image
-
-This workflow automates releasing the images to quay.io. The workflow accepts two parameters as version and image, and can be used from any repo by creating a workflow that resembles the following.
-
-Before manually triggering this workflow from a driver or module repository, ensure that the create-tag-and-image workflow has been executed, followed by a manual trigger of the Jenkins job 'CSM-Images-Build-Nightly'. Once the Jenkins image build job is successful, the release-image workflow can be manually triggered to publish the image to quay.io. here is the example for the csi-powerscale repo:

-### csm-release-driver-module
-
-This workflow automates the release of CSM drivers and modules repositories. The workflow accepts two parameters as version and image, and can be used from any repo by creating a workflow that resembles the following.
-The manual workflow is recommended to be used for out of band releases such as patch releases or when the increment is a major version change.
