This is a good ticket for a squad rotation candidate. I'm blocking it until further notice.

I manually created and ran a Tumbleweed container in SLE Micro 5.5 and migrated it to SLE Micro 6.0. Afterwards, I validated the container's status. I configured the container to start automatically as a systemd service. After the migration, I ensured that the container was running and validated its status.

  Now the next plan is to continue automation with the above steps and later extend the podman container part to pods.

This is great! I think you could attempt to simplify the setup by modifying the systemd unit in such a way, that you don't need anything else. I mean that on a fresh system you only need to deploy a systemd unit to /etc/systemd/system, start the unit and the unit creates and destroys the required containers itself?

I have verified the creation of a single Tumbleweed container in SLE-5.5 Micro and ensured the container is running after migrating from SLE-5.5 Micro to SLE-6.0 Micro.

I will follow up with Felix for further progress .

The current state looks already very good! We agreed to prepare a first PR by extending the current container test by a network check. This means that the container needs to publish a port and provide a testable service, that we can check. e.g. a webserver where we could fetch a predefined website and verify if the expected site (or identifiable parts of it) is being delivered.

The first PR is about running a Podman Nginx container under systemd and ensuring that the Nginx container is still running after the migration
PR : https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/19084

Created two containers within a pod under systemd and ensured that both the containers and the pod are running after migrating from SLEM-5.5 to SLEM-6.0.

When you see that is stable, let us know so we can add it to our test coverage for review. Where this will be if it is already in GMC, in maintenance?

Currently this is still a prototype.

I remember the agreement was that for SLEM 5.5 -> 6.0 this is going to be tested manually, no?

Hey @etchubykalo, what is the status of this ticket? Are there any updates in the meantime or are you blocked somehow?
