# Update OCP versions on Assisted Installer Stage Slide: https://hackmd.io/@vrutkovs/demo-assisted-service-stage --- `openshift-edge-bot` is periodically creates PRs to update [assisted-service](https://github.com/openshift/assisted-service) metadata after parsing Cincinnati endpoint to find new stable updates Example: https://github.com/openshift/assisted-service/pull/3699  --- ### Stage instance [Stage instance](https://qaprodauth.cloud.redhat.com/openshift/assisted-installer/clusters/~new) needs to be updated separately. Process: * Fork https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/service/app-interface/ * Update `data/services/assisted-installer/cicd/saas.yaml` --- ### Stage instance `saas.yml` contains stage/production settings: * Change `OS_RELEASE`/`RELEASE_IMAGES` env vars: * Config contains both prod and stage service settings * Release images are a mix of "4.x" and "4.x.y" definitions * Contains several `maintained` releases --- ### Stage instance * Create a merge request with updates, needs `/lgtm` from Edge group members * Once MR is merged AppSRE automation updates stage instance --- ### Automating updates https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/vrutkovs/assisted-installer-ocp-bump/ Two main parts: * Python script to create a commit with proposed changes * Gitlab CI to automate periodic script runs --- ### Automating updates - script * Clone app-interface, parse SaaS file definition * Clone assisted-service and parse OS_IMAGES/RELEASE_IMAGES * If stage settings need updates a new commit is created and pushed to the branch * Only "4.x" refs updates (preserving maintenance releases like 4.7.24 etc) * Notification is sent to `#assisted-deployment-ci` Slack channel * Notification link lets you customize the MR --- ### Automating updates - Gitlab CI * Installs dependencies and runs the script with secret slack credentials * Runs periodically - 8 hours atm * Ensures that the bot doesn't re-trigger if the branch already exists --- ### Gitlab CI job output  --- ### Slack notification https://coreos.slack.com/archives/C014N2VLTQE/p1650819665223219  --- ### Example MR https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/service/app-interface/-/merge_requests/37756  --- ### Further improvements * [ ] Finalize the MR template and create the MR automatically * [ ] `cc` people in Slack notification to draw attention to it * [ ] Monitoring the Gitlab CI to ensure errors are not being ignored
