4. **Scalability**: Docker environments can be easily scaled up or down to meet the packaging requirements. This scalability ensures that the packaging process can be efficiently adjusted to handle different workload sizes.

5. **Other Benefits**: Docker environments provide a secure, reliable, consistent, flexible, efficient, simple, and maintainable packaging environment. Docker isolates the packaging process from the underlying host system, ensuring a controlled and stable environment.

I feel like those two are not something that we really benefit from, we can remove them altogether?

We utilize Docker images for each OS/release/PostgreSQL version combination to create a reproducible and consistent packaging environment.

For Debian-based packages, we can use the same Docker image for all PostgreSQL versions.

For example, the Debian/10 Docker image can be used for both PostgreSQL 13 and PostgreSQL 14 packages.

However, for RPM-based packages, we need a dedicated Docker image for each PostgreSQL version.

For instance, we require a Docker image for CentOS/7 with PostgreSQL 13 and another Docker image for CentOS/7 with PostgreSQL 14 packages.

* PGDG: Stores only latest Citus rpm packages. You can not find older versions here. We do not manage the packages here directly. We open a ticket with PGDG to create a new package.
* `PGXN <https://pgxn.org/dist/citus/>`_: The PostgreSQL Extension Network (PGXN) is a community-driven effort aimed at providing a centralized platform for distributing and sharing extensions for the PostgreSQL database management system. We use this repository to store the citus extension.

Should we mention other release scripts too (such as prepare_release), or should we maybe simply add a link to https://github.com/citusdata/tools/blob/develop/packaging_automation/README.md and say:

We have some other scripts used in the release process before the phase of baking the packages, see https://github.com/citusdata/tools/blob/develop/packaging_automation/README.md.


To create docker images for patch releases, a tag needs to be added to the latest commit on the master branch and pushed.

The `The tag pipeline <https://github.com/citusdata/docker/blob/master/.github/workflows/publish_docker_images_on_tag.yml>`_ pipeline will create the docker images for the tag and push them to the docker repository.
