AMI release for 21.05

[roberth]

Project description

Upload the AMIs to amazon.

This has been requested via issues at least half of the time, so it doesn't seem to be part of the release process. We do upload them each time though, so not doing it in the release just wastes community energy with people trying to figure out who to contact etc.

• add AMI upload to release process
• upload 21.05 AMIs
• same for aarch64 images AWS ARM A1 instances  #52779

unfortunately, this has to be done by an individual with access to the s3 bucket

Is there not a way that we could just do this in CI?

I'm assuming the issue is secret management

[roberth]

I'd be happy to help with a suitable CI including secrets management.

Awesome, happy to help if necessary! IIRC GitHub actions has a security feature for some jobs to only be run trusted commits from admins.
