Description

Mandatory/optional

release_matrix_path

Specifies the location where release matrix json file would exist.

There are two options to select release matrix location:

Method 1: sort : Picks up release matrix data from SORT website.

Method 2: Custom_url/custom_path: Can be valid URL or accessible path from host machine.

  • Custom URL: The following URL must be accessible:

    Note:

    rhelX_86_64-ga.json would not be required:

    <URL>/rhelX_86_64-ga.json

  • Custom path: The path must contain the following files:

    kernel_padv.json

    rhelX_x86_64-ga.json

    rhelX_x86_64-patch.json

    rhelX_x86_64-hotfix.json

If the release matrix failed to update from SORT or custom URL/custom path, then the local matrix would be utilized. To check which release matrix data is being used you can refer to the logs generated by that playbook

Example:

release_matrix_path : "sort"

release_matrix_path : "http://<URL>"

release_matrix_path: "/root/matrix/"
