Canonical To Release Monthly Ubuntu Snapshots For Testing & Building Out Automation
Canonical is sticking to Ubuntu Linux releases every six months and a Long Term Support (LTS) release every two years, but a new change to their development process is that they are now working to release monthly Ubuntu snapshots of their testing stream.
... To aid the Canonical team in their understanding of the existing processes, and the immovable requirements that sit beneath it, we’re introducing monthly snapshot releases for Ubuntu. Snapshots are not meant for production use, but will help the release team move away from deep institutional knowledge, and toward clean well-documented automated workflows that are transparent, repeatable and testable. ... My ultimate goal is a release system that’s incredibly “boring”: transparent, predictable, observable, and easy to reason about (even when things go wrong).
