Istio 1.2 needs your help!

Greetings Istio contributors and users,

We are planning to release Istio 1.2 in the next ~2 weeks and we need your help testing it to ensure the release is solid and meets your standards. While our automated unit tests, integration tests, e2e tests, performance tests, and long-running burn-in tests give us a pretty clear signal, we still need help from everyone in the community to step through our documentation and confirm our documentation actually works for Istio 1.2.

If you can help us, please:

  • Add your github handle to the testing signup sheet and put “X” against line items that you would like to test. If you cannot access this sheet, email linsun@us.ibm.com and I’ll share it with you.
  • Perform the test and if there are no bugs, replace “X” with “Done”.
  • If you run into bugs/issues then please open an entry in GitHub and add the link inplace of “X”.

There will be a Testing session on Wed 6/5/19 10am-12:30pm PT (You can find details off Istio Community Calendar).

  • This session is intended for people who have claimed items in the testing signup sheet to run tests, ask questions, get help, and raise issues.
  • Representatives from each component will be in attendance so please take advantage of it.

Thanks much for your help!

Lin, on behalf of The Istio Team

Are there release notes for 1.2? The release notes links in the 1.2 docs don’t seem to have 1.2.

Thanks,
Krishnan

Folks, thanks to a few of you who have joined the test session!

If you missed the meeting, there is a RC0 of 1.2 build you can use for testing: https://github.com/istio/istio/releases/tag/1.2.0-rc.0. If you find an issue, please put 1.2 as the milestone in GitHub.com/istio/istio or GitHub.com/istio/istio.io.

Also, I have tried to give access to folks who requested access to the testing signup sheet. If you need access, the best way is to request access to our Istio team drive as it gives you access to not only this testing signup sheet but all other docs. The instruction is posted https://github.com/istio/community/blob/f5260a05ccf63b4c47dee19cd5663ebc0ab9f2a1/WORKING-GROUPS.md, and copied below for your convenience:

The working groups generate design docs which are kept in a Team Drive. Anybody can access the team drive for reading and commenting. To get access simply join the istio-team-drive-access@ group. Once you’ve done that, head to Team Drive and behold all the docs.

Thanks!

Release note is being worked on, stay tuned!

https://github.com/istio/istio/releases/tag/1.2.0-rc.0 is the first release candidate for 1.2. 1.2 is still several weeks away.

There will be release notes for 1.2, but those will be ready once we release 1.2.

Folks, we are planning another community test session on this Thursday (6/13) from 11-12:30 PT (you can find details off Istio community calendar).

  • This session is intended for people who have claimed items in the testing signup sheet to run tests, ask questions, get help, and raise issues.
  • Representatives from each component will be in attendance so please take advantage of it.

Please join us and sign up on the signup sheet if you haven’t.
