17.3 Event Types (release, run, approval, comments, cancel/rerun)

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

Below are core event classes that should typically be supported and tuned.

Release events

  • release created,
  • release started,
  • release succeeded / failed / canceled,
  • release waiting for approval.

Usefulness: primary deployment lifecycle visibility.

Run / pipeline events

  • standalone run started/completed/failed/canceled,
  • pipeline status transitions for release-linked or standalone executions.

Usefulness: execution-level status for operators and service owners.

Approval events

  • approval requested,
  • approval recorded/updated,
  • approver list changed,
  • release moved from pending to executable state.

Usefulness: governance workflow integrity and timely approvals.

Comment events

  • release discussion/comment added,
  • approval-related comment added.

Usefulness: collaboration context during active release decisions.

Cancel / rerun events

  • release canceled,
  • pipeline rerun all / rerun failed,
  • significant operator intervention events.

Usefulness: incident reconstruction and operational awareness.

Event design recommendation: classify each event as actionable now, informational, or audit-only. This helps determine notification channel and priority.
