Deprecation notice: daily builds

In the past, Istio has shipped daily builds of each release branch. In the next few weeks we will instead be shifting to building for each commit. If you are using the current daily builds, they will still work, but in the next few weeks we will stop updating these. If you depend on these images for tests, please transition to using the new per-commit builds.

The new images will be available at:

  • gcr.io/istio-release tagged :latest - the latest commit on master branch
  • gcr.io/istio-release tagged :version-dev (like 1.4-dev) - On a release branch, this would be the version of the branch (release-1.3 branch == 1.3-dev), on master this is the next version, so currently 1.4-dev.
  • gcr.io/istio-release tagged :commitsha (like :07b94e4793a1ffd5259cc4911a11e254d9ce162f)

The release archives will be published at https://gcsweb.istio.io/gcs/istio-prerelease/dev.

Thanks!

These are actually at gcr.io/istio-testing and GCS istio-build/dev

When do you expect https://storage.googleapis.com/istio-prerelease/dev to come alive?

Sorry I wasn’t clear above. These are live, but the bucket changed since the original post. These are at https://gcsweb.istio.io/gcs/istio-build/dev/ right now.

There are also pointers to the latest version, matching the docker tags, like: https://storage.googleapis.com/istio-build/dev/latest

Oh I see! From what I can see, there is no longer a direct download for istioctl. But I think I can work with that and simply extract the one file for the full Istio archive.

I’ll have the direct istioctl download working in a few days, just sent a PR out for it.

Where is the direct istioctl download?
