microshift-release:post-release

Synopsis

/microshift-release:post-release <version> [--verbose] [--json]

Description

Phase 4 of the MicroShift release process: confirm all artifacts and documentation are publicly available after a GA or z-stream release has shipped.

Only GA (X.Y.0) and z-stream (X.Y.Z) releases are supported. EC and RC versions are rejected.

Verifies five areas (manual verification links included for reference):

1. Errata — public advisory exists and has reached SHIPPED_LIVE
   • Red Hat Errata Search
2. Bootc Images — container images available in the Red Hat Catalog
   • microshift-bootc-rhel9
   • microshift-bootc-rhel10 (4.22+ only)
3. RPMs — packages accessible on the Red Hat Customer Portal and pushed to CDN repos
   • Red Hat Customer Portal — Package Browser
4. Documentation — release notes published on docs.redhat.com
   • MicroShift Release Notes
5. Lifecycle (X.Y.0 only) — version listed in the Product Life Cycle page with Full Support status
   • Product Life Cycles — Red Hat build of MicroShift

The advisory is auto-discovered via the public Hydra search API — no advisory ID argument is needed.

Most checks work over the public internet. VPN-gated checks (errata SHIPPED_LIVE status, CDN repo verification) degrade gracefully to WARN when VPN is unavailable.

For versions 4.22.2+, both el9 and el10 bootc images are checked.

Prerequisites

Requirement	Needed for	Mandatory?
Internet	All checks	Yes
VPN	Errata SHIPPED_LIVE status, CDN repos	No (degrades to WARN)
Kerberos ticket (kinit)	Errata Tool API	No (degrades to WARN)

Arguments

• version (required): Full GA or z-stream version string
  • Z-stream: 4.21.7
  • GA: 4.22.0
  • EC/RC/nightly versions are rejected
• --verbose (optional): Show detailed markdown report
• --json (optional): Output raw JSON

Scripts Directory

SCRIPTS_DIR=plugins/microshift-release/scripts

Implementation

Step 1: Parse Arguments

1. Extract version from $ARGUMENTS — the first non-flag token
2. Pass through --verbose and --json flags if present

Step 2: Run Checks

bash $SCRIPTS_DIR/post_release.sh <version> [--verbose] [--json]

Display stderr only if the script exits non-zero.

Step 3: Display Output

Paste the complete stdout of the script into the response as a code block. Every check line must be visible to the user. Do not summarize, abbreviate, or replace the output with commentary.

Step 4: Handle Errors

• EC/RC/nightly version: Post-release checks are only for GA and z-stream releases
• VPN unavailable: Errata status and CDN repo checks degrade to WARN — all other checks still run
• Kerberos auth failed: Run kinit <username>@REDHAT.COM for Errata Tool access
• Network errors: Individual checks degrade to WARN with the error message

• Read-only — does NOT modify advisories, tickets, or external state. No confirmation required.
• Advisory is auto-discovered via the public Hydra search API — no advisory ID needed
• EC, RC, and nightly versions are rejected with an error
• VPN is optional — most checks work over the public internet
• Exit code is non-zero if any check returns FAIL
