2025-11-24 sig-ci weekly meeting

When: Weekly on Mon, 10:00 – 10:30am

Notes: KubeVirt CI SIG meeting notes

Attendees: dhiller, nirdothan, xpivarc, brianmcarey, 

Reminders:

• we will create GitHub issues for tracking

• GitHub issues and PRs

• should be marked with /sig ci and /kind flake if applicable

• should be marked with the target sig

Topics:

• [urgent]

• [dh] 0xfelix noticed that kubevirtci provider 1.34 misses binary, impacting k8s-reporter

• https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirtci/issues/1577

• was added last month without checking that the binary lsfd is present

• lsfd is not packaged for centos 9, and it would be hard to add it manually

• conversation has started on the issue

• 
  

• ci-health

• 

• 

• quick look at the e2e job failures:
  https://grafana.ci.kubevirt.io/d/efpTS3t4z/e2e-jobs-overview-v2

• 

• showing a large increase in percentage of failures on the release branches

• no specific sig-related lane can be seen as main contributor

• a number of security related backports had been created on Friday, those were contributing a lot to the failures over the weekend

• [timeboxed: 5 mins] revisit previous action items

• existing sig-monitoring issue shows no reaction, let’s ping observability again

• https://github.com/kubevirt/project-infra/issues/4512

• existing issues opened in last 7 days: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Akubevirt%2Fproject-infra+is%3Aissue++-label%3Akind%2Fenhancement&type=issues&state=open

• [non-urgent]

• [nirdothan] https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/15981  is “stuck” and so are other PRs that get blocked by the CI /hold. Team is complaining.

• [dh] the referee only holds PRs after it detects a set of retests while no changes on that PR have been made - so it seems that the flakiness on the lanes has increased in general?

• [dh] will take a look and see whether there’s other candidates for quarantining

• most-flaky-tests doesn’t show any candidates for quarantining

• [dh] issue with retester, which is fixed now

• https://github.com/kubevirt/project-infra/pull/4533

• [misc]

• 
  

• 4 recently merged PRs authored by SIG CI (query: is:pr is:merged merged:>=2025-11-17 author:dhiller author:brianmcarey org:kubevirt”)

• kubevirt/project-infra#4533: fix(retester): use kubevirt-commenter-bot credentials (by @dhiller)

• kubevirt/ci-health#102: sig,badges: Add handling for when there are zero lanes run for a SIG (by @brianmcarey)

• kubevirt/project-infra#4521: script: add executable permissions to hack/bump-containerfile-images.sh (by @brianmcarey)

• kubevirt/project-infra#4518: fix(mount): hack/contributions.sh (by @dhiller)
