If there was an error that prevented the release from being published, but this was fixed manually, click on the edit button (pencil icon) next to the release.  This will provide options to generate the release notes, publish the release and label it as the "latest" one.
     2. Check Docker Hub Production: https://hub.docker.com/r/opensearchproject/opensearch-benchmark.  Both “latest” and the published release should appear on the page along with the appropriate publication timestamp.
