QA » openQA Project

Motivation¶

One openQA instance can happily run with openQA workers connected from various locations as we use for both o3 and osd. However for something like multi-machine tests having them run across multiple locations might introduce all kinds of problems hence it would be beneficial to restrict multi-machine parallel clusters to specific zones or locations, e.g. based on WORKER_CLASS settings, so that all jobs of a parallel cluster on request run within the same zone/location.

Acceptance Criteria¶

• AC1: If configured accordingly all jobs of a parallel cluster run within the same configured zone or location
• AC2: By default if not restricted by configuration jobs of a parallel cluster are still allowed to be triggered on any host of matching worker class

Suggestions¶

• Follow #135035
• Extend the scope of #135035 but towards zone/location
• Use Documentation Driven Development to write documentation first of how you would like the feature to work before implementing
• Define corresponding naming conventions for WORKER_CLASS values
• Adapt WORKER_CLASS settings accordingly in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/workerconf.sls and correspondingly on o3 workers
• Implement
