June 2025 monthly summary for securesign/pipelines focused on stabilizing the end-to-end test environment and validating image references in the rekor-backfill-redis component. The primary objective was to ensure the CI/CD pipelines run against the correct container image and reduce test flakiness. Key outcomes: - End-to-end tests now run with the correct rekor-backfill-redis image, replacing quay.io/securesign/trillian-redis with quay.io/securesign/rekor-backfill-redis in the rekor-backfill-redis component, as configured in rhtas-operator-e2e.yaml. - CI stability improved due to consistent test environment, enabling faster feedback and more reliable release validation. - Commit alignment: Updated the image reference and mirrored changes to reflect the release mirror (cb118cce7daf4e45c547010fbc3b246be4e88149). Technologies/skills demonstrated: - YAML configuration updates and image reference management - Container registry/resource referencing and validation - End-to-end test orchestration and CI/CD reliability
