generic-autobumper

This tool automates the version upgrading of images such as the prow.k8s.io Prow deployment. Its workflow is:

  • Given a local git repo containing the manifests of Prow component deployment, e.g., /config/prow/cluster folder in this repo.
  • Find out the most recent tags of given prefixes in gcr.io registry and modify the yaml files with them.
  • git-commit the change, push it to the remote repo, and create/update a PR, e.g., test-infra/pull/14249, for the change.

The cluster admins can upgrade the version of images by approving the PR.

Define Prow jobs to utilize this tool:

  • Periodic job for the above workflow: Periodically generate PRs for bumping the version, e.g., ci-test-infra-autobump-prow.
  • Postsubmit job for auto-deployment: In order to make the changes effective in Prow-cluster, a postsubmit job, e.g., post-test-infra-deploy-prow for prow.k8s.io is defined for deploying the yaml files.

Requirement

We need to fulfil those requirements to use this tool:

  • a “committable” local repo, i.e., git-commit command can be executed successfully, e.g., git-config is set up correctly. This can be achieved by clone the repo by extra_refs, e.g.,

      extra_refs:
  - org: kubernetes
    repo: test-infra
    base_ref: master

  • a GitHub token which has permissions to be used by this tool to push changes and create PRs against the remote repo.

  • a yaml config file that specifies the following information passed in with the flag -config=FILEPATH:

  • For info about what should go in the config look at the documentation for the Options here and look at the example below.
