Evaluation builds

Please note that Konveyor AI (Kai) is in early stage of development and is not suitable for production usage at this point in time.

The community is releasing early access builds of Kai to aid end user evaluation purposes.

What evaluation build (release) should I consume?

The recommended option for previewing Kai is to consume the :stable image tag.

The :stable tag is a floating tag which will point to the current recommended :demo.{DATE} tag.

By default, podman compose up workflow with compose.yaml will consume :stable.

Where can we see existing evaluation builds (releases)?

Releases may found at: https://github.com/konveyor/kai/releases

What is in an evaluation build (release)?

Releases consist of:

• Git tag for the kai GitHub repository
• Container image with a tag matching the git tag, published to https://quay.io/repository/konveyor/kai?tab=tags
• A .vsix file for the associated Kai VSCode Plugin Build

What are the various choices I have for tags?

• :stable

  • The :stable tag is a floating tag that will point to a recommended early build

• :demo.${DATE}

  • The :demo.${DATE} tags correspond to early-access builds which are generated on a frequent basis. These early builds may be unstable, we recommend you consume the :stable build unless you have a known reason to do something different.

• :latest

  • The :latest tag is a floating tag which follows the 'main' branch of the kai repository. This tag is useful if you want to see the very latest developments as they merge.
