There is a need to plan and implement a productization pipeline that will provide the following workflow tasks:

• Downstream builds via CPaaS
• Automated deploy and test.
  • To reduce release-cycle time, it will be important not to over test nor add test duplicity of testing that will already have been done prior to a downstream build.
  • Re-use as much upstream testing (Istio integration tests, etc) as possible (see: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OSSM-4504) and avoid duplicating upstream tests downstream.
  • Identify key downstream tests that cannot be validated upstream (ie platform specific - such as P/Z, upgrades, etc)
  • This was moved to https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OSSM-4807
• Automated Errata workflow

Objectives:

• Release within 24 hours
• Minimal (to no) downstream manual testing or manual errata workflow tasks. The desire is for entire release workflow to be automated.
