Refs #20928

What changed

  • Make GitHub Releases the default binary download source in generated Linux and macOS release notes while retaining Google Storage as an alternate.
  • Document registry.k8s.io/etcd as the official multi-architecture image location and GCR/Quay as secondary registries.
  • Update the runnable Docker example and container name to use the official image.

Why

The release-note template still directs users to Google Storage by default and describes GCR as the primary container registry. That no longer matches the staged distribution policy agreed in #20928 or the currently published release artifacts.

Impact

Future release pages direct users to the official binary and container locations without removing the existing compatibility sources. This documentation-only change does not alter the release pipeline or complete the broader deprecation work tracked by #20928.

Testing

  • git diff --check
  • Rendered scripts/release_notes.tpl.txt with the same substitutions as scripts/release.sh, verified that all release placeholders resolved, and syntax-checked every generated sh block with bash -n.
  • make verify-shellcheck
  • make verify-shellws
  • make verify-markdown-marker
  • Verified representative GitHub Releases and Google Storage Linux/macOS asset URLs with curl -fsSIL.
  • Inspected registry.k8s.io, GCR, and Quay manifests for v3.7.0; the official manifest includes amd64, arm64, ppc64le, and s390x.

Hi @AkashKumar7902. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a etcd-io member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
