## For the release team

At the start of a release development cycle, the contents of `next` should be deleted
and replaced with those of `initial`. From the repo root:

    > cd doc
    > rm -r next/*
    > cp -r initial/* next

##
## CODEOWNERS style rules:
## 1. Prefer team ownership over individual user ownership.
## 2. GBT-related team should be listed first.
## 3. Try to keep paths alphabetically sorted within visual groups.
## 4. List individual owners last.

# bt-unassigned-maintainers must be the first owner

An architecture module is responsible for providing some coherent set of features and:

- Provides a set of APIs and services for use from outside the module.
- Has a private implementation.
- Is owned by a single team. A team may own multiple architecture modules.

The modules are arranged into several different "Gradle platforms".
A Gradle platform is a logical distribution that provides support for a specific kind of automation.

Configuration levels in maven

 In maven configuration control happens on four differ levels: the site level, the group level,

- [ ] Check ["Allow edit from maintainers" option](https://help.github.com/articles/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork/) in pull request so that additional changes can be pushed by Gradle team.
- [ ] Provide integration tests (under `<subproject>/src/integTest`) to verify changes from a user perspective.
- [ ] Provide unit tests (under `<subproject>/src/test`) to verify logic.

* Review in Google Doc is not as simple as a PR code review in GitHub

## Decision

The *Build Tool Team* has decided to use Architectural Decision Records (aka ADR) to track decisions we want to follow.

The main logic with ADRs is to describe (architectural) decisions made:

* To provide best practices and solutions we (as *build tool* team) want to promote.
* To avoid asking the same thing multiple times during code review.

## Prerequisites

- Prometheus and MinIO configured as explained in [document here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/README.md).

- Better security: separate Istio components reside in different namespaces, allowing different teams or
roles to manage different parts of Istio. For example, a security team would maintain the
root CA and policy, a telemetry team may only have access to Prometheus,
and a different team may maintain the control plane components (which are highly security sensitive).

The install is organized in 'environments' - each environment consists of a set of components
