About LATEST-BUILD.md

Purpose

The LATEST-BUILD.md file is automatically generated by our CI/CD pipeline to provide real-time information about the latest CozyStack ARM64 Talos build.

How It Works

  1. Triggered: On every successful build in the build-talos-images.yml workflow
  2. Generated: Automatically updates with fresh build metadata
  3. Published: Available on GitHub Pages for easy access

Contents

  • Build Timestamp: When the build completed
  • Talos Version: Version of Talos being built
  • CozyStack Commit: Upstream commit hash used
  • Asset Digests: SHA256 checksums for kernel and initramfs
  • Usage Instructions: Commands for asset extraction and deployment

Usage

The file serves as a build status dashboard and deployment guide for:

  • ✅ Checking latest successful build status
  • 📦 Getting correct container image tags
  • 🔧 Asset extraction for AWS bastion/matchbox setup
  • 🛡️ Verifying asset integrity with checksums

Next Sprint Ideas

After tomorrow’s work, this could be enhanced with:

  • Build success/failure indicators
  • Performance metrics (build time, asset sizes)
  • Historical build tracking
  • Integration with monitoring systems
  • Automated deployment status

Perfect for keeping track of our CozySummit Virtual 2025 demo readiness! 🎯
