The Grafana Agent build images are used for CI workflows to manage builds of Grafana Agent.
There are two images:
grafana/agent-build-image:X.Y.Z(for building Linux containers)grafana/agent-build-image:X.Y.Z-windows(for building Windows containers)
(Where X.Y.Z is replaced with some semantic version, like 0.14.0).
Once a commit is merged to main which updates the build-image Dockerfiles, a
maintainer must push a tag matching the pattern build-image/vX.Y.Z to the
grafana/agent repo. For example, to create version v0.15.0 of the build images,
a maintainer would push the tag build-image/v0.15.0.
NOTE: The tag name is expected to be prefixed with
v, but the pushed images have the v prefix removed.
Automation will trigger off of this tag being pushed, building and pushing the new build images to Docker Hub.
A follow-up commit to use the newly pushed build images must be made.
