<p>so ffmpeg shows significantly higher accumulated CPU time usage compared to the according qemu processes. We should investigate if ffmpeg is having a "too high" impact on machine performance, if it should be running with nice level to prevent typing issues, if ffmpeg parameters can be tweaked or if ffmpeg should be avoided at all on ppc64le.</p>

So far <a href="https://github.com/openSUSE/qem-bot" class="external">qem-bot</a> is sufficient to schedule openQA tests but merely does a mediocre job of reporting back results as test results are asynchronously polled based on a periodic schedule <a href="https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/bot-ng/-/pipeline_schedules" class="external">https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/bot-ng/-/pipeline_schedules</a> causing unnecessary delays, inefficient polling, using outdated results <a class="issue tracker-4 status-4 priority-4 priority-default child" title="action: Use live openQA test results instead of inconsistent qem-dashboard database in qem-bot approver (Feedback)" href="https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/122311">#122311</a> and not even reporting back on blocking test failures <a class="issue tracker-6 status-1 priority-4 priority-default child parent" title="coordination: [epic] enable qem-bot comments on IBS (was: enable qa-maintenance/openQABot comments on smelt again) (New)" href="https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/97121">#97121</a>.

<p>Our current hypothesis is that the PPC HMC struggles with two simultaneous connections to the ASM at the same time. It causes the managed system to "flicker" in the webui and constantly abort any operation you execute. We should explore if these connection issues can be resolved by only having one, single connection between ASM<->HMC.</p>

<p>As the parent project about QAaaS progresses we should assess our expected efforts and risks about "openQA in SLE" ASAP for further planning. As according to hsehic openQA needs to be provided from pure SLE, i.e. no PackageHub, we should try what we can achieve in this regard by submitting packages and seeing the effect of that. Maybe some submissions can be directly accepted, maybe some need special treatment. Maybe SLE release managers tell us what processes we need to follow, which bugzilla or Jira tickets we need to create first or which contracts to sign with blood ;)</p>
