Building Packages

Building artifacts for public consumption is handled on our dev instances via omnibus-gitlab. All builds are initiated via some sort of trigger:

• Nightly pipelines are kicked off via a Cron Job
• Builds of tagged packages are automatically started when that tag is pushed into the repo

• The Tagged pipeline will start whenever a new tag is pushed to omnibus-gitlab, however, some steps are manually kicked off as to prevent unnecessary artifacts. When a release manager runs the release process, these manually triggered jobs will be started.
