Release Steps

PyPI

Note: To release a new Instana package, you must be a project member of the Instana package project on Pypi. Contact Peter Giacomo Lombardo to be added.

Before releasing, assure that tests have passed and that the package has also been manually validated in various stacks.
git checkout master && git pull --rebase && pip install -U twine
Bump the package version in instana/version.py. git commit & push the version change to the master branch
Create a draft Release on Github using ./bin/create_general_release.py
Run python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel to create the packages file in ./dist/
Upload the package to Pypi with twine: twine upload dist/instana-<version>*
Validate the new release on https://pypi.org/project/instana/
Update Python documentation with latest changes: https://docs.instana.io/ecosystem/python/
Publish the draft release on Github
Ensure that the new Concourse CI resource version has been discovered. Trigger it manually if the automation doesn't do it. Also ensure that the update job and its downstream jobs are successfull. In particular the run-test-suite doesn't report any errors.

To release a new AWS Lambda layer, see bin/aws-lambda/lambda_build_publish_layer.py.

./bin/aws-lambda/build_and_publish_lambda_layer.py [-dev|-prod]
./bin/create_lambda_release.py <version>

These scripts assume that you have the AWS CLI and Github CLI installed and credentials already configured.

Post release, remember to update documentation and the Instana UI.
