= Proposed System Wide Change: (A)Periodic Updates to Images = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/%28A%29Periodic_Updates_to_Images Change owner(s): Cloud WG collectively, with Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> as point of contact Responsible WG: Cloud We want to be able to release updated images not just at release time. Hope for a one-month regular cadence, plus emergency updates if needed. == Detailed Description == We need to be able to produce official updates to the Fedora Cloud images. Initially, we plan to release these updates monthly, but also need the ability to release an out-of-cycle update in the event of a severe security issue. This involves: 1. policy for level of security issue required for out-of-cycle updates 2. procedure for notification of security updates in images (as with rpm updates) 3. automated QA (at least smoketests) 4. documentation of QA expectations 5. release engineering process 6. mirroring of updated images 7. updates to web site for new download links and EC2 AMI IDs. Note that this will apply to the Cloud Base Image, the Docker Host Image, the Big Data Image, and the Docker Container Base Image. (The latter may need separate handling.) Ultimately, we would like to produce updates whenever a package on the image or the kickstart file for the image changes. This is a step towards that goal. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Create policies and procedures as outlined above. Will also assist with changes to release engineering. * Other developers: Contributions welcome! * Release engineering: Significant impact, obviously. Cloud WG will interact heavily with Release Engineering and work in concert. * Policies and guidelines: No changes to existing policies. _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
