The OPNFV release is currently made of a list of installers only (from the link you provided me https://www.opnfv.org/software/downloads) These installers are normally validated by the use of the matching versions of OPNFV testing tools. However, the testing tools used to validate that release are not available from that download page. Will the euphrates download page include containers? It does not look like… What has been the feedback from consumers of these releases? Did they ask for the testing artifacts for each release? Or were they cherry-picking the containers directly from dockerhub?
We know that some test projects (such as Functest) are already used outside of OPNFV labs, and quite possibly on non-OPNFV installers. The TSC should realize there is actually quite a lot of potential interest for OPNFV test projects outside of OPNFV environments and there are/will be many external users who will be interested in using OPNFV test tools in their own environment. So we should consider testing projects as first class citizens – at the same level as installers/features. That is why I have been advocating for an independent versioning for OPNFV test projects: make it easier for test project teams to support their artifacts for more than 1 consumer (which has been limited to an OPNFV release so far). I think this will only strengthen the quality of OPNFV releases. This independent versioning will also provide the right foundation for XCI. To get to the next level, OPNFV needs to 1. empower test projects in how they can manage their own releases at their own pace 2. build XCI around this independent versioning model to add more control in the current release process Today, there are many hurdles to get to that level. For example, as a project PTL, I still cannot build my own container using my project specific tags. All I can do is trigger from gerrit a build of “latest” from master. I can’t build the euphrates container for my project. The releng script was patched recently to allow that but I can’t trigger it, so somebody from releng will need to trigger these container builds for all the projects that have containers.

Containers have emerged as a release vehicle, organically and informally, within projects, rather than from the OPNFV project level. So, we don't currently have processes for containers. We still need to better understand how and where containers are being used within OPNFV and what process is necessary to support the community in their use.
