Description

automation enhancement initiative

Work in this Feature explores the optimal way to solve the problem that currently the act of publishing a new SDK release is split across two workflows:

  • publish.yml All language variants except for Java.
  • java-publish-maven.yml Java language variant.

In the pre-GA timeframe, the plan of record was to split out all the individual languages into separate workflows. In light of this plan, the decision was made to keep Java separate.

Recent developments seem to indicate a desire to revise this plan.

The outcome of this feature will resolve this and establish a plan of record for how we do releases.
