9.2 Tag and Asset Selection Model

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

Release selection is explicit and version-aware.

Typical selection flow:

  1. Choose Source
  2. Load available Tags
  3. Choose Tag
  4. Load Release metadata + Asset list
  5. Choose Release file (asset)

Why this model is important:

  • Prevents ambiguous latest deployments.
  • Makes each deployment reproducible.
  • Enables clear rollback targeting by specific version/file.

Runtime behavior:

  • Selected file is exposed to pipeline as:
  • Bash: $ORBN_RELEASE_FILE
  • PowerShell: $env:ORBN_RELEASE_FILE

Traceability outcome:

  • Release record stores selected source/tag/file context.
  • Incident review can identify exactly what artifact was deployed.
