closed[sle][functional][infrastructure] Amount of svirt-based tests
0%
Description
What I experienced during the last few builds was that around 40 jobs are taking really long to finish for one build which causes confusion to some people, i.e. release-managers
After some investigation I found out that those jobs are mainly svirt-based tests.
So I'm coming up with two questions here:
- Could we increase our resources to run those tests?
- Could we decrease the amount of those tests to avoid this confusion
@mnowak: your opinion?

Wrt (1) I filed ticket to increase amount of svirt-bound workers from 2 -> 4 openqa/salt-pillars-openqa!63. I am happy to increase them even more, but it's not clear to me which workers to pick.
Wrt (2) We have around 15 non-zkvm svirt test suites in SLE:Functional, 4 of them should be rather short ones (media checks and so). Which is not that much, but it's multiplied by 4 because of different architectures (Xen PV & HVM, Hyper-V with BIOS and with UEFI), which differ significantly.

About the Hyper-V host: it's rather slow system, especially the disk. Which makes the tests to run for a longer time than we are used to, but it should survive 2-3 VMs in parallel.
I requested a new host but that's for the next FY planning as I understood. We even have a ticket for this from the past https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/18136 but it never got anywhere.

- Target version set to Milestone 14
I guess we can survive into the next year and then revisit

There's https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/merge_requests/63 to address this.

@msgriessmeier, could you please check if anything still has to be addressed here or @mnowak has done the job already? If not, please, make workable.

from the feeling I've got over the last few builds, I can say that hyperv tests seems to finish faster now since we have more workers.

agreed, thank you all for your contributions.
