Start pushing alpha helm chart releases with every alpha build

[rvmiller89]

Description

This will start generating alpha helm chart releases in our Github Pages-hosted chart: https://github.com/SumoLogic/sumologic-kubernetes-collection/tree/gh-pages

Will need to merge to test this on Travis CI

Testing performed

• ci/build.sh
• Redeploy fluentd and fluentd-events pods
• Confirm events, logs, and metrics are coming in

one question, rest lgtm

[lei-sumo]

why do we need to change this?

[rvmiller89]

Helm seems to be doing this already, but it makes me nervous relying on that undocumented behavior that could change. So to be explicit I added this.

It's working well

k8s-collection          1               Fri Nov  1 14:30:22 2019        DEPLOYED        sumologic-0.10.5-alpha          0.10.5-alpha    sumologic 

I updated our helm_repo_url with the /alpha and I can install 0.10.5-alpha!

thanks @rvmiller89

@djsly I'll be deleting this /alpha shortly, the team decided against storing the alpha builds separately. Please hold on using the alpha builds.

@djsly we just set up the CI to generate an alpha helm chart release for every alpha build. They're hosted at the same URL as before (the /alpha URL will be going away soon).

To use an alpha helm chart release (and alpha image), you can do:

$ helm repo update
$ helm install sumologic/sumologic --name collection --namespace sumologic -f values.yaml --set=image.tag=0.10.10-alpha --version=0.10.10-alpha

The first version available is 0.10.10-alpha.

Perfect. Thanks for the ends up.

@djsly just wanted to let you know we put together a small doc on the alpha releases, please let us know if you think of anything worth adding: https://github.com/SumoLogic/sumologic-kubernetes-collection/blob/master/deploy/docs/Alpha_Release_Guide.md

I think it’s looking good. One thing though. I’m using a alpha chart release with an official docker image. But I guess it’s simpler to ask users to always aligned since this is what you tested. I just think that in some cases of a chart change only. A users might be interrelated in picking up the chart release only.
