## Publish for release
The publishing stage is the most complex part in publishing. This is the stage were we generate and publish docker images,
prepare the release artifacts and get ready with the release draft.

+### Package Management workflows
+As part of our goal to provide the best support to our customers, we have created a set of CI workflows to automatically produce
+DEB and RPM for multiple distributions. These workflows are implemented under the templated stages '_DEB_TEMPLATE' and '_RPM_TEMPLATE'.
+We currently plan to actively support the following Operating Systems, with a plan to further expand this list following our users needs.
+
+### Operating systems supported
+The following distributions are supported
+- Debian versions
+ - Buster (TBD - not released yet, check [debian releases](https://www.debian.org/releases/) for details)
+ - Stretch
+ - Jessie
+ - Wheezy
+
+- Ubuntu versions
+ - Disco
+ - Cosmic
+ - Bionic
+ - artful
+
+- Enterprise Linux versions (Covers Redhat, CentOS, and Amazon Linux with version 6)
+ - Version 8 (TBD)
+ - Version 7
+ - Version 6
+
+- Fedora versions
+ - Version 31 (TBD)
+ - Version 30
+ - Version 29
+ - Version 28
+
+- OpenSuSE versions
+ - 15.1
+ - 15.0
+
+- Gentoo distributions
+ - TBD
+
+### Architectures supported
+We plan to support amd64, x86 and arm64 architectures. As of June 2019 only amd64 and x86 will become available, as we are still working on solving issues with the architecture.
+
+The Package deployment can be triggered manually by executing an empty commit with the following message pattern: `[Package PACKAGE_TYPE PACKAGE_ARCH] DESCRIBE_THE_REASONING_HERE`.
+Travis Yaml configuration allows the user to combine package type and architecture as necessary to regenerate the current stable release (For example tag v1.15.0 as of 4th of May 2019)
+Sample patterns to trigger building of packages for all AMD64 supported architecture:
+- '[Package AMD64 RPM]': Build & publish all amd64 available RPM packages
+- '[Package AMD64 DEB]': Build & publish all amd64 available DEB packages
