[Starlingx-discuss] [Important] Production builds to cutover to using Layered Build

[Scott Little]

The following changes have been made

1) The layered build have been given the preferred build time of 7pm EST 
(with docker images), or 9:30pm EST (without docker images).  The goal 
is testable content ready by 1am EST.

2) Latest developer iso image will be found at ...

http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/flock/latest_build/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso

http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/flock/latest_green_build/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso

3) The old path, formerly used by monolithic builds, will redirect to 
the new path.  So this still works ...

http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/latest_green_build/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso

4) Docker images are now produced by a fourth build layer, 'containers'. 
We will continue to build these weekly, rather than daily.  The Helm 
charts for the latest set of docker images will be found at ...

http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/containers/latest_docker_image_build/outputs/helm-charts/

5) The old path, formerly used by monolithic builds, will redirect to 
the new path.  So this still works ...

http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/latest_docker_image_build/outputs/helm-charts/

6) We don't yet have a 'latest_green_docker_image_build' redirect just 
yet, but hope to have that working soon.

7) The monolithic build will continue for a time, with builds starting 
at 4am EST.  These builds will not produce docker images unless a 
special request is made.   The publication url has moved to

http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/monolithic/latest_build/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso

8) Regular sanity testing will done on the output of the layered build, 
not the monolithic build.
