GitHub issues and PRs
should be marked with /sig ci and /kind flake if applicable
should be marked with the target sig
Topics:
[urgent]
ci-failures:
more than 50% external download failures
remaining ones under investigation
quick look at the e2e job failures:
https://grafana.ci.kubevirt.io/d/efpTS3t4z/e2e-jobs-overview-v2[timeboxed: 5 mins] revisit previous action items
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
fossedihelm will bring it up on sig-perf meeting, also assigned to Ryan Hallisey
[non-urgent]
[fossedihelm] Bring performance lane bump discussion from sig-performance&scale meeting https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d_b2o05FfBG37VwlC2Z1ZArnT9-_AEJoQTe7iKaQZ6I/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.v1zam0efjvfx
proposal from sig-ci:
create new performance lane on kubevirt beta 0
remove old performance lane after kubevirt code freeze
[misc]
Look at held tests:
https://grafana.ci.kubevirt.io/d/uAoSeksSk/referee-retests?orgId=1&refresh=15m&from=now-1h&to=now
dasionov working on dequarantine: https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/17221
still flaky on all periodics, however dequarantine did succeed, but still failing on serial
suspicion is that there’s a test order dependency present, best guess would be to look at test orde in sig-serial
[fossedihelm] will bring this back to sig-compute
