Build, Deploy, and Images¶

This page connects developer workflows to the images and release channels used in UnisonOS.

What this page covers¶

• How local development and devstack relate to production images.
• Where image builds and release channels are documented.
• How to think about deployment paths when designing workflows.

Who this page is for¶

• Developers designing new workflows or services.
• Contributors planning how features will ship across environments.

Before you read this¶

• Review Devstack Setup to understand the local runtime.
• Read Images, Builds, and Releases for detailed build and release information.

From devstack to images¶

Devstack brings up the same core services that appear in production images. When you design a workflow or feature, aim to:

• Verify behavior in devstack using the recommended compose profiles.
• Capture any additional services or configuration in reusable compose overrides.
• Consider how the workflow will behave on WSL, VM, and hardware installs.
