### Status Updates on `v0.12.0` Release
*(or anything Tanzu Community Edition-related)*

- Release Engineering Updates
- Starting to write new E2E tests in Golang (instead of bash like earlier), one example of this is E2E test for unmanaged-cluster - https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/community-edition/pull/3810
- Started work on converting existing E2E tests from bash to Golang. We are starting with Azure management and workload cluster E2E test. Work in progress code at https://github.com/karuppiah7890/tce-e2e-test/ , [GitHub issues](https://github.com/karuppiah7890/tce-e2e-test/issues/) and source code comments capture ideas, code, notes and improvements. Please send in any feedback, ideas, concerns or anything you may have around E2E tests that would help us make it better. We are taking the painful learnings from running bash E2E tests and general learnings about cloud platforms and E2E tests and putting it all together in the Golang E2E test code, trying to bring the best of all worlds
