Can we add an explicitly named amd64 release tag?

[martinkennelly]

Now that #348 is merged.

What would you like to be added?

Add ${GitHub Tag}-amd64 to ensure consistency in our current release tags and aid readability in customer yamls. This tag would point to the same image as tag named "${GitHub tag}".

How?

Modify image-push-release.yml and include ${GitHub Tag}-amd64 tag.

What is the use case for this feature / enhancement?

Allow yaml developers to clearly define the arch of the images.

Images we produce today

Tag	Arch	Description
latest	x86	Latest commit
latest-amd64	x86	Latest commit
${GitHub SHA}	x86	Git commit e.g "sha256:540af56cbd92b2dfdaea5bac3c44a6f46a277f0dbed000a0993d116fc377f332"
${GitHub tag}	x86	GitHub Release tag e.g "v1.0"
latest-arm64	arm	Latest commit
${GitHub tag}-arm64	arm	GitHub Release tag e.g "v1.0-arm64"
latest-ppc64le	power	Latest commit
${GitHub tag}-ppc64le	power	GitHub Release tag e.g "v1.0-ppc64le"

Hi Martin, Can you assign this issue to me? As beginner, this would be right one to start with. Thanks!

@digambar15 Hey! I would say to wait for community feedback on whether we should go ahead with this or not before working on it, but I will assign it to you! Thank you!

Sure @martinkennelly

We have it for other Arch, so im fine with making things consistent and having one for amd64 as well.

While we are at it, should ${GitHub tag} image be a manifest which allows the image resitry to pull in the correct platform image ?
