Pipeline jobs can create releases

Release assets can be linked but must be stored elsewhere

release-cli must be available

Container images are publicly available

registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli:v0.14.0

Runners using the shell executor must have release-cli installed

See official documentation
