• Deploy the job using kubectl create -f deploy/verify.yaml
• Watch logs using kubectl -n kube-system logs -l job-name=verify-job -f, output should be empty (besides deprecation warnings)
• Check completed logs using kubectl -n kube-system logs -l job-name=verify-job -f | grep -v "is deprecated", this will exclude deprecation warnings.

How to Make a Release

Releases are done via github actions, and triggered by pushing a tag to the remote that starts with v. There are two types of releases: "pre" and "full" release. To make a prerelease, push a tag that contains the string rc or alpha (for example, v1.2.3-rc1 or v1.2.3-alpha1). To make a full release, push a tag that does not contain either of these strings (for example, v1.2.3).
