Description

The HDDs (qcow2's) that are used by BCI tests and other container tests are created here:
https://openqa.suse.de/group_overview/377

However, there is no automation on this. I trigger them on regular basis, but this has some risks if I am on leave or vacation, because having outdated HDDs might cause some timeouts in the BCI jobs while updating the system or things like this. Besides, it takes more time to run the tests. If we have regularly-updated HDDs, the BCI jobs take less time to update the system which results in an overall time execution.

The script to be run is already created:
https://gitlab.suse.de/qac/qac-openqa-yaml/-/blob/master/containers/create_hdd_isos_post.sh

This task is about automating this script in the gitlab-ci pipeline once a week (e.g. during the weekends).

After the HDDs are created, there are few steps to be done manually in OSD after the openqa jobs need to be completed and green:

cd /var/lib/openqa/share/factory/hdd
mv centOS-Stream-8-x86_64-20220128-minimal_new.qcow2 ./fixed/centOS-Stream-8-x86_64-20220128-minimal.qcow2

mv sles-es-8.5_new.qcow2 ./fixed/sles-es-8.5.qcow2

mv SUSE-MicroOS.aarch64-5.2.0-Default-GM-Updated.qcow2 ./fixed/

mv SUSE-MicroOS.x86_64-5.2.0-Default-GM-Updated.qcow2 ./fixed/

I don't really know how to automate this, as we need to wait for jobs to be done and completed. Maybe we can have another schedule a couple of hours after first one to do these operations... Or maybe schedule the job triggering on Saturdays and these commands on Sundays? I'm open to ideas.

Acceptance criteria

  • Create a new stage/job in gitlab-ci.yml to execute the hdd creation script.
  • Create a new schedule in the pipeline that triggers the openQA jobs once a week (e.g. on Saturdays).

As Martin pointed out, it might be useful to move the host_configuration part from the test run to the image creation. This would mean that necessary tools are already pre-installed and we only need to run a simple update & reboot before running the tests.

AFAICS this is only for listing the assets, there is no CI for periodic job trigger in place.

If the assets get created on a regular schedule we might not need to push them to fixed/ and we are already done with the task. I need to think a bit about this though.

POC is in place: https://gitlab.suse.de/ph03nix/aceto-magico/ - It triggers the creation of the new HDDs every Friday.

I let this run for a little bit to see, how good this works. Will also remove the corresponding assets from fixed/ and see if that works.

I asked in #eng-testing and it should be fine to avoid using assets from the fixed/ folder - See https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02CANHLANP/p1665991966827409

I'm going to remove them for now and we see at the end of the week, if there are any issues with this.

I will rename the "original" ones to *_template.qcow2 and we should use them and release them as the actual HDDs that are being used afterwards.
