Motivation¶

Sometimes a bug happens in a specific worker host. When trying to debug, we don't have a way of specifying in a job, which worker host to pick.
It would be useful for debugging to have a unique worker class name, so that a job can be set up to pick a worker instance from a specific worker host.

Suggestions¶

https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/blob/master/openqa/workers.ini:

Example output:

openqaworker13:
  # 16 cores
  ...
  global:
    WORKER_CLASS: openqaworker13,qemu_amd64,qemu_x86_64_staging

malbec:
  numofworkers: 4
  ...
  global:
    QEMUTHREADS: 1
    WORKER_CLASS: malbec,qemu_ppc64le,qemu_ppc64le_no_tmpfs,tap

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: A job can be set up to be picked by a specific worker host.
• AC2: Worker hostname is added as worker class automatically by salt.
