Daniel Hiller
When: Weekly on Mon, 10:00 – 10:30am
Notes: KubeVirt CI SIG meeting notes
Attendees: dhiller, ycui, Lee Yarwood, dollierp, nirdothan
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]
[dhiller ]verify whether PR has fixed the issue: https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/17057
periodic-kubevirt-e2e-test-S390X ( ∑=109, 3.18% )
overall flake rate seems to decrease in the recent runs, however there’s still one test that is failing every time on the lane:
[sig-compute]VM Affinity Updating VMs node affinity [test_id:11208]should successfully update node selector
[lyarwood] I’ll look this morning
[dhiller] update: that test is not failing any more
note: ci failures are shown that are months old: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/CNV-81807
quick look at the e2e job failures:
https://grafana.ci.kubevirt.io/d/efpTS3t4z/e2e-jobs-overview-v2[ycui] 8 PR in OPEN for Quarantining case: https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+quarantine
After the PR with the quarantine candidates is proposed there is a grace period of 2 days to prepare and land a fix for a test in the batch.
Let’s merge the quarantining PR in 2 working days without SIG sign to improve the lanes’ stability?
agree
PROPOSE PRs that make tests shorter, more reliable. Not block such PRs.
[ycui] auto-quarantine status?
[dhiller] needs some more work, release-note-none and no push in case of no changes
[ycui] Workload in Upstream CI
We need to increase the IBM budget to add new resources.
old doc about storage split (probably by Brian)
also ask about arm64 resources
[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
