= Proposed Self Contained Change: Release Engineering Automation
Workflow Engine =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReleaseEngineeringAutomationWorkflowEngine
Change owner(s):
* Adam Miller
Centralized entry point, logging, and dash board for pre-defined
Automated Workflow tasks used by the Release Engineering team with
delegation and self-service tasks for members of various teams who
normally depend on Release Engineering for various tasks.
== Detailed Description ==
Currently Fedora Release Engineering Automation tasks are performed by
various scripts run on various machines within the Fedora
Infrastructure with no real centralized logging. Some of these are
automated by chron jobs and some run by hand by request of various
members within the Fedora Community, normally around Fedora Test Days.
Finding information about old tasks is not always the easiest of
things to do and the delegation of tasks is currently not available.
The goal here is to provide a solution that removes those barriers.
Workflows will be executed and potentially orchestrate actions between
multiple other systems or tools such as bodhi, pungi, and koji.
Fedmsgs will be emitted with information about the start and
completion of workflows along with metadata about them.
In the event of a compose, certain fedmsg output will be picked up by
taskotron and autocloud to perform various levels of testing.
