Discussions​

  • Evelyn suggested a consistent storing for environment specific deployment configuration (helm values files) in TX repositories:
    • IF products teams store deployment configuration in TX, it should be stored in a separate directory at root level (/environments) and the notice file should explain it is need for the end-to-end testing of TX releases
    • no deployment configuration other than the one used for the official E2E Testing of TX releases should be kept in TX
    • suggestion is not intended to promote the storing of this configuration in TX but if you do it, do it as proper as possible
    • a benefit from (properly) storing the configuration in TX is the versioning with the TX GitHub releases, allowing to easily trace back the exact configuration used for testing
    • other options for handling environment specific deployment configuration outside of TX were discussed as well as the option of multiple sources for Argo CD was mentioned by Carsten
  • Stephan was wondering about how to handle outdated information on the TX Product Page:
    • product teams should check if the information on the page is still up to date, Stephan will write send a reminder on the TX mailing list
    • Arno mentioned that he would update the products which are still outdated in a couple of weeks, thanks for volunteering!
