Release Process

The first step is to create a draft release. Typically this will happen in the Stage Release workflow for AWX and you don't need to do it as a separate step.

If you need to do an independent release of the operator, you can run the Stage Release in the awx-operator repo. Both of these workflows will run smoke tests, so there is no need to do this manually.

After the draft release is created, publish it and the Promote AWX Operator image will run, which will:

• Publish image to Quay
• Release Helm chart
