Orbnetes deployment and release orchestration documentation for operators and platform teams.

Approve comment cancel actions

Approve

Used by eligible approver to authorize release progression.

  • Approval action records actor and timestamp.
  • Once required approvals are satisfied, release transitions to execution phase.

Comment

Used for review discussion, clarification, or release notes feedback.

  • Comments create a lightweight collaboration trail.
  • Useful for handoff context between developers and operations.

Cancel

Used to terminate release before or during execution (depending on current state).

  • If pending approval: closes approval flow and release ends as canceled.
  • If executing: requests termination of ongoing execution path.

Operational guidelines:

  • Require comment for exceptional approvals/cancellations (team policy recommended).
  • Use cancel for safety when release intent is invalid, not as generic retry mechanism.
  • Use rerun/new release flow for corrected deployments rather than ambiguous cancel/reopen behavior.
