Each operator might have ci.yaml
configuration file to be present in an operator directory (for example operators/aqua/ci.yaml
). This configuration file is used by community-operators pipeline to setup various features like reviewers
or operator versioning
.
Note: One can create or modify
ci.yaml
file with a new operator version. This operation can be done in the same PR with other operator changes.
If you want to accelerate publishing your changes, consider adding yourself and others you trust to the reviewers
list. If the author of PR will be in that list, changes she/he made will be taken as authorized changes. This will be the indicator for our pipeline that the PR is ready to merge automatically.
Note: If an author of PR is not in
reviewers
list or not inci.yaml
onmain
branch, PR will not be merged automatically.
Note: If an auhor of PR is not in
reviewers
list andreviewers
are present inci.yaml
file. Allreviewers
will be mentioned in PR comment to check for upcoming changes.
For this to work, it is required to setup reviewers in ci.yaml
file. It can be done by adding reviewers
tag with a list of GitHub usernames. For example
$ cat <path-to-operator>/ci.yaml
---
reviewers:
- user1
- user2
Operators have multiple versions. When a new version is released, OLM can update an operator automatically. There are 2 update strategies possible, which are defined in ci.yaml
at the operator top level.
Every next version defines which version will be replaced using replaces
key in the CSV file. It means, that there is a possibility to omit some versions from the update graph. The best practice is to put them in a separate channel then.
Every version will be replaced by the next higher version according to semantic versioning.
A contributor can decide if semver-mode
or replaces-mode
mode will be used for a specific operator. By default, replaces-mode
is activated, when ci.yaml
file is present and contains updateGraph: replaces-mode
. When a contributor decides to switch and use semver-mode
, it will be specified in ci.yaml
file or the key updateGraph
will be missing.
$ cat <path-to-operator>/ci.yaml
---
# Use `replaces-mode` or `semver-mode`.
updateGraph: replaces-mode
Starting from kubernetes 1.22 some old APIs were deprecated (Deprecated API Migration Guide from v1.22. Users can set operatorhub.io/ui-metadata-max-k8s-version: "<version>"
in its CSV file to inform its maximum supported Kubernetes version. The following example will inform that operator can handle 1.21
as maximum Kubernetes version
$ cat <path-to-operators>/<name>/<version>/.../my.clusterserviceversion.yaml
metadata:
annotations:
operatorhub.io/ui-metadata-max-k8s-version: "1.21"
