OpenShift Release Tooling

This repository holds OpenShift cluster manifests, component build manifests and CI workflow configuration for OpenShift component repositories for both OKD and OCP.

CI Workflow Configuration

Configuration files for CI workflows live under ci-operator/ and are split into the following categories:

ci-operator/config contains configuration for the ci-operator, detailing builds and tests for component repositories. See the contributing guide for details on how to configure new repositories or tests.
ci-operator/jobs contains configuration for prow, detailing job triggers. In almost all cases, this configuration can be generated automatically from the ci-operator config. For manual edits, see the upstream configuration document for details on how to configure a job, but prefer the ci-operator config whenever possible.
ci-operator/templates contains black-box test workflows for use by the ci-operator. The parent directory's README documents how to use them. See the template document for general information on template tests.
ci-operator/infra contains manifests for infrastructure components used by the ci-operator. Contact a CI Administrator if you feel like one of these should be edited. (legacy: do not add new services here. Use core-services or projects instead.)

Cluster and Service Configuration Manifests

Core Services and Configuration

Manifests for important services (like OpenShift CI cluster and the CI service components that run on it) are present in the core-services directory. The services configured in this directory are critical for some part of the OpenShift project development workflow, must meet basic quality criteria and must be deployed to the cluster automatically by a postsubmit job. See its README for details.

Cluster Configuration Manifests (legacy)

Manifests for cluster provisioning and installation live under cluster/. The OpenShift CI cluster is configured with the manifests under cluster/ci/. (legacy: do not add new services here. Use core-services or projects instead.)

Clusters that are created by the testing infrastructure for validating OpenShift are configured with the profiles under cluster/test-deploy/. For directions on how to set up clusters for development, see the README.

Custom and Legacy Service Configuration

Manifests for services that are in development, experimental, legacy or not critical in some other way are present in the projects directory. Compared to the core services configuration, these projects do not need to follow any common structure or conventions other than clear ownership. They must not interfere with the core services in any way.

Additionally, manifests for building container images for component repositories live under projects/. This purpose is deprecated; authors of components built by manifests in this directory should remove them and ensure that their component is appropriately built by the ci-operator instead.

Tooling Build Manifests

Manifests for building container images for tools live under tools/. These tools are either useful in managing this repository or are otherwise useful commonly across component repositories.
