closedInvestigate usage of k3s on s390x
100%
Description
Following #154420 we need to evaluate if we can keep k3s
on s390x. For opening the discussion we need to get an overview, where k3s
is used and what the impact of not having k3s
on s390x on our test coverage would be.

I could identify 4 places where we use k3s
:
- helm
- kubectl
- podman-pods
- run_container_in_k3s
kubectl and run_container_in_k3s
is closely bound to k3s, there we cannot do much. podman-pods would be covered by podman-bats and there we could do something. helm is not relevant.

We are using k3s for testing some kubernetes-related packages and functionality (kubectl
, podman kube apply
) and are facing the problem that k3s
removed s390x support in https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/issues/8987. This means that we are unable to continue testing those features, unless k3s
will continue to support s390x.
A quick survey revealed that only the kubectl
utility and the podman kube apply
functionality are being affected by this. Unless it is a goal to provide kubernetes support for s390x, we should stop testing those functions due to the lack of necessary auxiliary tooling, provided by k3s.

We know of at least one paying customer who relies on kubernetes packages in SLES.
