release Stanza

The release stanza describes how an application is released. A release activates a previously staged deployment and opens it to general traffic. This step may involve adding a deployment to a load balancer, updating DNS, configuring a service mesh, etc.

Release configuration is optional. Please see the documentation on the release phase of the Waypoint lifecycle for the Waypoint behavior when a release phase is not configured.
