Description Clayton Coleman 2019-12-12 22:14:08 UTC
We have repeatedly struggled to map payload to RHCoS version to list of RHCoS changes, which hampered debugging efforts and wastes time.

We need to report RHCoS component version in the payload (like Kubernetes) by:

1. Report a version in the machine-os-content image from the coreos pipelines:

LABEL io.openshift.build.versions="machine-os=SEMVER"
LABEL io.openshift.build.version-display-name="machine-os=RHEL CoreOS"

2. Ideally make that SEMVER be the same version listed in rhcos build output results so we don't have to translate it

3. Update the release tooling to support display name (we can't use "machine os" and we need to distinguish between fedora and rhcos)

4. Update the release controller to direct link to the appropriate details page for an rhcos version

This will allow both dev and QE to more rapidly understand what is happening in CI.

This is not required for 4.3.0 but may not be changeable in z.  I'd prefer to get it in 4.3.0 esp. if it causes minor tooling issues later.

Comment 1 Clayton Coleman 2019-12-12 22:15:12 UTC
As a consequence of this change an engineer or qe or manager could one click from openshift-release.svc.ci.openshift.org directly to the list of changes, and when we do diffs we could link new and old (I believe the viewer page supports diffs?)
