summary
Release engineering is extracting the release pipeline from Google-only infrastructure into community-owned systems, instrumenting each release stage and tracking durations, and replacing an 1,800-line bash mess with Krell (Go rewrite) to enable testing and automation. Built tools include image-builder and GCB manager for containerized builds, plus testgridshot for failing-test insights; push-build caused a CI outage when changed, prompting rewrites. Goal is community-hosted RPM/DEB artifacts, signed packages, and nightly builds.
