Hi all, Going through the process of validating the RC's (and several validation rounds before announcing an RC), I got tired of manually following the steps in our release testing process [1].
Some of the steps do require that you manually work with the release, however many of the up-front steps are easily scripted. I put together a generic framework for defining and running a set of release verification instructions yesterday, including the definition of the CloudStack release verification steps as the example configuration [2]. Feel free to use it if you think it would help you (especially the RM's that may have to re-spin an RC over and over to ensure that it's right). -chip [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Release+test+procedure [2] https://github.com/chipchilders/cloudstack-release-verification-tool
