Greetings,

The TripleO CI team has just completed **Unified Sprint 32** (Aug 21 thru Sep 10). The following is a summary of completed work during this sprint cycle:

• Created new container build w/ ubi-8 and overcloud image jobs for rhos-16.2.

• Created new rhos-16.2 integration and component pipelines with standalone job, OVB jobs, and standalone scenario jobs.

• Added more jobs to the component and integration pipelines, like scenario12.

• Changed promoter tests to cover TCIB/Kolla builds and container naming differences across branches (openstack-* vs distro-binary-*).

• Continued the necessary changes to switch to the new configuration engine in promoter code. 

• Continued making improvements to the Tempest scenario manager.

• Started design of upstream jobs to run w/ a parent that builds all packages and containers and children jobs that consume these artifacts.  This will avoid the use of an upstream container registry.

• Merged upstream parent/child jobs for centos-8 jobs running against openstack/tripleo-ci.  https://review.opendev.org/#/c/747591/

• We are limiting where this new type of upstream job design is running atm to ensure quality and consistency.

• More information can be found https://hackmd.io/ermQSlQ-Q-mDtZkNN2oihQ

• Initial design for the dependency pipeline design to early detect breakages in the OS.

• https://hackmd.io/I_CFKPXHTza-5i2kFDIs5Q#Dependency-Pipeline

• Initial design for elastic-recheck service.

• https://hackmd.io/HQ5hyGAOSuG44Le2x6YzUw

• Ruck/Rover recorded notes [1].

The planned work for the next sprint extends the work started in the previous sprint and focuses on the following:

• Continue adding jobs to RHOS 16.2 pipelines.

• Apply new promoter configuration engine changes to consolidate all promoters into the same code.

• Start a PoC implementation of the new dependency pipeline.

• Start elastic-recheck containerization work.

• Create upstream parent jobs to build containers for multiple jobs.

• Continue the design and socialization of the openstack-tempest-skiplist project.

The Ruck and Rover for this sprint are Bhagyashri Shewale (bhagyashris) and Rafael Folco (rfolco). Please direct questions or queries to them regarding CI status or issues in #tripleo, ideally to whomever has the ‘|ruck’ suffix on their nick. Ruck/rover notes to be tracked in hackmd [2].

Thanks,

rfolco
