Viewing release details

This document describes the information that you can find on the Cloud Deploy Release detailspage in Google Cloud console, including the following:

• Metadata and other information about the release:

  

• Rollouts

  You can view a list of rollouts for this release, and click a rollout to view rollout details .

• Release artifacts

  • The rendering source, which was archived when the release was first created.
  • The names of all build artifacts, such as the container image that was deployed.
  • Rendered artifacts, including the rendered manifest.yaml and the rendered skaffold.yaml that was used for this release.

You can also view a diff of different versions of the rendered manifests and skaffold.yaml files.

View rollouts

1. From the Release detailspage, select the Rolloutstab.

2. Click the name of the rollout that you want to view.

   The rollout details are displayed over the page. These details include links to render logs, deployment logs, and target artifacts ( manifest.yaml and skaffold.yaml ).

   The Rollout page is displayed. The Summaryshows rollout metadata and status.

   

   The Phasestab shows the phases and jobs in the rollout. From here you can perform actions on the rollout , such as advance phases, terminate job runs, and more.

   

View release artifacts

The Release detailspage includes an Artifactstab, listing build artifacts, target artifacts (manifests and Skaffold configs), and the rendering source for those target artifacts.

From this page, you can do the following:

• Download the rendering source archive file.

• Click through to see the render logs for the target artifacts.

• View the rendered target artifacts themselves.

View rendered manifests and diffs, with release inspector

In Google Cloud console, you can compare different versions of some of your release artifacts. You can view a diff of the following types of artifacts:

• Rendered manifests
• Rendered skaffold.yaml configuration files

To view a diff:

1. In the Google Cloud console, navigate to the Cloud Deploy Delivery pipelinespage to view your delivery pipelines.

   Open the Delivery pipelines page

2. Click the delivery pipeline that's managing the release you want to inspect.

3. On the Delivery pipeline detailspage, make sure the Releasestab is selected, and click the name of the release you want to inspect.

   

4. On the Release detailspage, click the Artifactstab.

5. In the Target artifactslist, click the View artifactslink for the artifact that you want to inspect.

   

6. Select the Manifesttab or the Skaffold configtab.

7. Click Show diff.

   

   The release inspector shows the same version of the artifact on both sides.

8. For each artifact shown, choose the release name, target name, phase name, or all, if necessary.

   

   This way you can choose which version of the artifact to compare on each side, by release and by target. For example, you can choose the same release for each, and compare the manifest for that release but for different targets.

The differences between the selected artifacts are highlighted.

2. In the Target artifactstable, find the target whose artifacts you want to view, and click the corresponding link in the Storage locationcolumn.

   The Cloud Storage bucket details are shown, for the specific target. The bucket contains rendered artifacts for each phase of the rollout:

   

3. Click on the phase whose rendered artifacts you want to view,

   The available artifacts for that phase are listed:
