| To improve customer experience, changes to the Worker Tools release process have been made. We use [JFrog Artifactory](https://packages.octopushq.com/ui/packages) as the staging environment for releasing new images. A new image is first pushed Artifactory. The Dynamic Workers VM Image pipeline will pull from Artifactory to cache recent images and produce a VM image. Once this VM image is released, new Dynamic Workers will be created with the latest version of Worker Tools cached. The process of selecting versions of images to cache is described in the [next section](#which-versions-to-cache). | ||

| Since it can take weeks for the Dynamic Workers with the new image cached to reach all production reefs, we created an [Execution Container Promoter](https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/ExecutionContainersPromoter). The Promoter is a Runbook that periodically checks whether an image version has reached all production reefs, and publishes it to DockerHub if it has. The detailed working mechanism of the Promoter can be found in [repo](https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/ExecutionContainersPromoter). |

Also includes a lift and shift of docs around the way these are added to the worker tool vms.
