Docker-based microservices - how to approach tag names and version releases

[labedzkim]

Dear Bamboo Experts,

I'm representing a small team working on a multi-service application (aka microservices).  We are using Bamboo to build docker images which are then pushed into a docker repository (Artifactory).

We are struggling with an optimal approach to tag the images and glue them into a single version release. Could you plase share your approach to this with Bamboo or point me to the right article?

As for now, the images are tagged with build numbers, so the specific version release is done by hardcoding those numbers in a docker-compose configuration files.

This approach has mutliple drawbacks and highly depends on manual procedure.

I believe Bamboo already delivers the right functionality.
