 # cAdvisor Release Instructions
 
-See https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/102wNLDR9ls5NGRpBIfhQaD53q97DVLfmmuILLUE4AIk (Google internal-only)
+Google internal-only version: [cAdvisor Release Instructions](http://go/cadvisor-release-instructions)
+
+## 1. Send Release PR
+
+Example: https://github.com/google/cadvisor/pull/1281
+
+Add release notes to [CHANGELOG.md](../../CHANGELOG.md)
+
+- Tip: Use a github PR search to find changes since the last release
+  `is:pr is:merged merged:>2016-04-21`
+
+## 2. Create the release tag
+
+### 2.a Create the release branch (only for major/minor releases)
+
+Skip this step for patch releases.
+
+```
+# Sync to HEAD, or the commit to branch at
+$ git fetch upstream && git checkout upstream/master
+# Create the branch
+$ git branch release-v0.XX
+# Push it to upstream
+$ git push git@github.com:google/cadvisor.git release-v0.XX
+```
+
+### 2.b Tag the release
+
+For a release of minor version XX, patch version YY:
+
+```
+# Checkout the release branch
+$ git fetch upstream && git checkout upstream/release-v0.XX
+# Tag the release commit. If you aren't signing, ommit the -s
+$ git tag -s -a v0.XX.YY
+# Push it to upstream
+$ git push git@github.com:google/cadvisor.git v0.XX.YY
+```
+
+## 3. Build release binary
+
+Command: `make release`
+
+- Make sure your git client is synced to the release cut point
+- Try to build it from the release branch, since we include that in the binary version
+- Verify the ldflags output, in particular check the Version, BuildUser, and GoVersion are expected
+
+Once the build is complete, record the sh1 and md5 hashes:
+
+```
+$ sha1sum cadvisor
+$ md5sum cadvisor
+```
+
+Update the github release by uploading the release binary, and filling in the hashes.
+
+## 4. Build & push the Docker images
+
+```
+$ VERSION=v0.23.1  # Example
+$ docker build -t google/cadvisor:$VERSION -f deploy/Dockerfile .
+...
+Successfully built a811aa33809f
+$ docker tag google/cadvisor:$VERSION \
+  gcr.io/google_containers/cadvisor:$VERSION
+```
+
+### 4.a Push to Docker Hub
+
+```
+$ docker login
+Username: ****
+Password: ****
+$ docker push google/cadvisor:$VERSION
+$ docker logout # Good practice with shared account
+```
+
+### 4.b Push to Google Container Registry
+
+```
+$ gcloud auth login <account>
+...
+Go to the following link in your browser:
+
+    https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?<redacted>
+
+Enter verification code: ****
+$ gcloud docker push gcr.io/google_containers/cadvisor:$VERSION
+$ gcloud auth revoke # Log out of shared account
+```
+
+## 5. Cut the release
+
+Go to https://github.com/google/cadvisor/releases and click "Draft a new release"
+
+- "Tag version" and "Release title" should be preceded by 'v' and then the version. Select the tag pushed in step 2.b
+- Copy an old release as a template (e.g. github.com/google/cadvisor/releases/tag/v0.23.1)
+- Body should start with release notes (from CHANGELOG.md)
+- Next is the Docker image: `google/cadvisor:$VERSION`
+- Next are the binary hashes (from step 3)
+- If this is an alpha or beta release, mark the release as a "pre-release"
+- Click publish when done
+
+## 6. Finalize the release
+
+Once you are satisfied with the release quality (consider waiting a week for bug reports to come in), it is time to promote the release to *latest*
+
+1. Edit the github release a final time, and uncheck the "Pre-release" checkbox
+2. Tag the docker & gcr.io releases with the latest version
+   ```
+   $ docker pull google/cadvisor:$VERSION
+   $ docker tag -f google/cadvisor:$VERSION google/cadvisor:latest
+   $ docker tag -f google/cadvisor:$VERSION gcr.io/google_containers/cadvisor:latest
+   ```
+3. Repeat steps 4.a and 4.b to push the image tagged with latest
