closedcoordination #103323: [epic] BCI testing
Auto-update non-SLE Hosts for BCI testing
0%
Description
The non-SLE hosts we use to validate container images (Leap, RHEL(RES) 7.9, 8.5, Ubuntu, CentOS) are created manually from time to time and then moved to OSD so that the tests use them. They will slowly get obsoleted and updating the system fails sometimes or creates a need to reboot them.
We need to have automatic triggering of HDD creation using the existing ones, no need to do full installation (as we would need a lot of needles and new code to handle new ISOs installation), and they could be placed here: https://openqa.suse.de/group_overview/377
Acceptance criteria¶
Create new tests that boot the current HDD, run a system update and Publish the same HDD.

I have tried executing the test loading HDD_1=xyz.qcow2 publishing the same filename PUBLISH_HDD=xyz.qcow2 and it fails, so I have opted to do PUBLISH_HDD=xyz_new.qcow2.
Which means, we will need to manually override those qcows with the newly generated ones, but at least we can do it in OSD directly and the most the costly part is automated.
Proposal:
New module that runs the appropriate update command depending on the host OS.

It works! https://openqa.suse.de/tests/overview?flavor=Container-Host&groupid=377&build=GM
However, to update the HDDs in OSD, it needs to be done manually.
