CD

The archethic-cd target produces an image capable of running archethic_node release. The objective of cd is to test the code proposal in a testnet environment which means spawning:

• 5 nodes that run the new version
• 2 validator containers
• 1 prometheus container
• 1 benchmark container

the cd happens in multiple steps:

• first we start by copying the upgrade release and the logs we created in the CI part to a tmp folder
• next we create the subnet and we start all the containers responsible for the CD
• The validator container ensures that every node is up and do a benchmark before we apply the upgrade
• We apply the upgrade
• we start the second round of validation which is responsible for running benchmarks again, running the playbooks and gathering metrics from prometheus.
• we wait for the final validation message and we clean all containers and images we created.

nb: the cleaning phase will happen even in the case of failure.
