BOSH Linux Stemcell Builder Pipelines

This repository hosts the definitions for all the pipelines we use to build the openSUSE stemcells, both for BOSH and fissile.

We maintain 3 different "sets" of pipelines for the BOSH stemcells:

Release Set (bosh:release namespace)

Uses the opensuse_stemcell branch of our bosh-linux-stemcell-builder fork. New builds are triggered by updates to the branch or by RPM updates to the os-images. The set is comprised of 2 pipelines:

• os-images
• stemcells

The os-images pipeline is also building the ubuntu:trusty and sle:12 images because we need them for the fissile:release pipeline (see details below). To build the sle image, we bring in the sle_stemcell branch of bosh-linux-stemcell-builder repo as well.

Development Set (bosh:develop namespace)

Uses the develop branch of our bosh-linux-stemcell-builder fork. New builds are triggered by merges to develop or by rpm updates to the os-images. The set is comprised of 2 pipelines:

• os-images
• stemcells

The os-images pipeline is also building the ubuntu:trusty and sle:12 images because we need them for the fissile:develop pipeline (see details below).

Regression set (bosh:regression namespace).

Uses the master branch of the upstream bosh-linux-stemcell-builder repository. It is used to check if upstream changes break when building our stemcells. This set is comprised of 2 pipelines:

• os-images
• stemcells

We only build opensuse stemcells in this set.

Fissile Stemcells

We maintain 2 different pipelines for the fissile stemcells:

• The develop pipeline (fissile:develop). Uses the os-images built in bosh:develop:os-images to push the os-images to a docker registry and then build the fissile stemcells from that. The images are tagged like "docker.io/splatform/os-image-opensuse:develop-30.4.0" (notice the develop prefix)

• The release pipeline (fissile:release). Uses the os-images built in bosh:release:os-images to push the os-images to a docker registry and then build the fissile stemcells from that. The images are tagged like:

  • opensuse: "splatform/os-image-opensuse:42.3-30.2.0"
  • sle: "staging.registry.howdoi.website/splatform/os-image-sle12:12-0.92.0"
  • ubuntu: "splatform/os-image-ubuntu:trusty-3.2.0

Setting Pipelines

There is a Makefile that should be used to deploy any of the pipelines (or all of them). Check the targets in the Makefile for more. Some examples:

• make all -> deploys all pipelines to the fly target specified by the $TARGET env var.
• make release -> deploys all release pipelines (both bosh and fissile).
