Epic Goal
In CPaaS the build team could perform a z stream release that was simply the previous release with updated images that had no new code changes, but just a base image update. If code changes were needed, specific components could be updated too.
To begin discussions on this epic, I talked to Andrew McNamara who confirmed the konflux team will not be adding any features to help in this area. The suggestion was to investigate working directly with the pipelineruns (Pipelines as Code) and try to get a build to work separately from the main konflux applications and components. It may be some resources still have to be created to allow the pipelinerun to function. Running pipelines manually means also creating the snapshot manually. Our existing release infrastruction may work ok after the snapshot is created.
Why is this important?
We need more control than what konflux provides. Some of this control is nice for CVE only builds. Some of this control may be nice so developers would not necessarily have to know if a release is frozen or not. At code cutoff we could freeze the code as a build step but still be able to rebuild the images as needed.
