Review Reusable Workflows

As mentioned in the High-Level Design section, there are several reusable jobs in the Release and Rollback workflows.

• Validate version format job can be reused in both workflows to check semantic versioning of the project.
• A Release job (in the Release workflow) and a Rollback job (in the Rollback process) can be combined to create a reusable job.

You now explore the reusable workflows.

“Validate format of semantic version” Workflow

#  This workflow will be called in release and rollback workflows
name: Validate format of semantic version

    inputs:
      version:
        description: "Specify semantic version tag of the Docker image to check."
