Release Checklist

This checklist will prepare v1.3.0 from v1.2.0. Adjust your version numbers accordingly.

Merge ready PRs
On the CoreOS config repo, create two new branches release/v1.3, stream/v1.3 (new minor version) or use the existing ones (new patch version). The release branch contains the squashed changeset and is branched from main while the stream branch contains the rebased changesets on top of the latest upstream changes. Consult this guide on rebasing forks for guidance.
Create a new branch release/v1.3 (new minor version) or use the existing one (new patch version)

On this branch, prepare the following things:

(new patch version) cherry-pick (only) the required commits from main

Use Build micro-service manual and run the pipeline once for each micro-service with the following parameters:

branch: release/v1.3
Container image tag: v1.3.0
Version of the image to build: 1.3.0

# Alternative from CLI
gh workflow run build-micro-service-manual.yml --ref release/v1.3 -F microService=access-manager -F imageTag=v1.3.0 -F version=1.3.0
gh workflow run build-micro-service-manual.yml --ref release/v1.3 -F microService=join-service -F imageTag=v1.3.0 -F version=1.3.0
gh workflow run build-micro-service-manual.yml --ref release/v1.3 -F microService=kmsserver -F imageTag=v1.3.0 -F version=1.3.0
gh workflow run build-micro-service-manual.yml --ref release/v1.3 -F microService=verification-service -F imageTag=v1.3.0 -F version=1.3.0

Use Build operator manual and run the pipeline once with the following parameters:
- branch: release/v1.3
- Container image tag: v1.3.0
```
# Alternative from CLI
gh workflow run build-operator-manual.yml --ref release/v1.3 -F imageTag=v1.3.0
```
Review and update changelog with all changes since last release. GitHub's diff view helps a lot!
Update versions versions.go to v1.3.0 and push your changes.

Create a production coreOS image

gh workflow run build-coreos.yml --ref release/v1.3 -F debug=false -F coreOSConfigBranch=release/v1.3

Update default images in config

Run E2E tests to confirm stability and generate measurements

gh workflow run e2e-test-manual.yml --ref release/v1.3 -F workerNodesCount=2 -F controlNodesCount=1 -F autoscale=false -F cloudProvider=azure -F machineType=Standard_DC4as_v5 -F sonobuoyTestSuiteCmd="--mode quick" -F kubernetesVersion=1.23 -F coreosImage=/CommunityGalleries/ConstellationCVM-b3782fa0-0df7-4f2f-963e-fc7fc42663df/Images/constellation/Versions/1.3.0 -F isDebugImage=false
gh workflow run e2e-test-manual.yml --ref release/v1.3 -F workerNodesCount=2 -F controlNodesCount=1 -F autoscale=false -F cloudProvider=gcp -F machineType=n2d-standard-4 -F sonobuoyTestSuiteCmd="--mode quick" -F kubernetesVersion=1.23 -F coreosImage=projects/constellation-images/global/images/constellation-v1-3-0 -F isDebugImage=false

Create a new tag on this release branch
- git tag v1.3.0
- Run Release CLI action on the tag
```
gh workflow run release-cli.yml --ref v1.3.0
```
- The previous step will create a draft release. Check build output for link to draft release. Review & approve.

To bring updated version numbers and other changes (if any) to main, create a new branch feat/release from release/v1.3, rebase it onto main, and create a PR to main
