Kubernetes Release

This repo contains the tooling and infrastructure to create Kubernetes releases from the kubernetes/kubernetes main repository.

Intro

There are several scripts and helpers in this repository a release manager will find useful when managing all kinds of releases (alpha, beta, official, rc) across branches.

Tools

Most tools in this repo run by default in mock mode to allow for ease in development and testing.

Tools	Description
krel	Kubernetes Release Toolbox This is the new golang based tool for managing releases
anago	Release Tool: The main driver for creating staged builds and releases. This is what runs inside GCB after a job is submitted using krel gcbmgr.
release-notes	Scrape GitHub for release notes. See Release Notes Gathering for more information.
push-build.sh	Pushes a developer build or CI Jenkins build up to GCS.
testgridshot	Screenshots failing testgrid dashboards and creates a markdown stub that can be copied and pasted into a GitHub issue comment. This makes it easier to create comments like this as part of the release process.

For information on how to use krel and anago, see the Branch Manager Handbook

Release Notes Gathering

For more extensive build and usage documentation for the release-notes tool, see the documentation.

Once the tool is installed, use release-notes -h/--help.
