Hey
everyone,
Mike
Turek and I are currently getting back to working on getting
tripleo container build jobs functional for ppc64le. The patch
we'd uploaded [0] got hit with a -2 a while back, which resulted
in an email [1] showing us tooling to properly request and
destroy duffy nodes.
The
current issue is that this tooling is currently only used on
ci.centos.org, not review.rdoproject.org. When asked in a
meeting a while back, amoralej suggested that the job would best
be handled over on the centos ci side of things, rather than the
RDO review page.[2] However, that would mean that we'd need to
spin up a container build job for centos ci, which is something
they currently don't do/haven't done - it'd be entirely new, and
Power specific. On the RDO end of things, we already have the
correct jobs, we theoretically just need to pull in the builders
that allow for us to pull power nodes from Duffy [4] for the
job.
There
have been test day experiment patches that leverage the CI
cloud's resources and report results review.rdo [3], so it seems
that doing something like this would be possible, the question
is whether or not this would be allowed/if it would ruffle any
feathers.
We
think it'd be a lot easier to pull a couple builders in on the
RDO end of things rather than stand up a container job over on
centos ci, but for the most part we're just looking for
direction, because we've heard seemingly conflicting information
from either side. We don't know what the 'right' answer is.
Any
input would be appreciated!
