2026-06-29 sig-ci weekly meeting

When: Weekly on Mon, 10:00 – 10:30am

Notes: KubeVirt CI SIG meeting notes

Attendees: Dylan White, dhiller, dollierp,

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]

• [dollierp] Go 1.26 bump got merged in kubevirt

• Does it require some follow up PRs? See this comment

• [dhiller] docs update issue: https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/issues/18273

• also we need to push the image, will do that today

• [dollierp] RFC on enabling ginkgo fail fast mode for batches to spend less CI time and resources on batches?

• For batches, I don’t see any value in spending hours continuing to run the entire test suite once a test case has failed

• Developers are only aware of the result of presubmits jobs created by Prow’s Hook trigger plugin when creating/updating their PRs or issuing a /test command

• Results from Prow’s Tide batches are not displayed in the GitHub PR page because their status is associated with a “virtual” merge commit not belonging to any PR.

• Change proposal:
