Status:
We have identified that the 2 major issues are:
- Inflight validations taking too much time. They were enabled by default, we changed that:
They are now disabled by default and also disabled in tripleo-ci-centos-7-containers-multinode
- tripleo-container-image-prepare now takes 20 min instead of 10 min before, because of the re-authentication logic that was introduced a few weeks ago. It's proposed to be reverted now:
https://review.opendev.org/#/c/682945/ as we haven't found another solution for now.
We have restored the patches. You can now do recheck and approve to gate but please stay aware of the situation, by checking the IRC topic on #tripleo and monitoring the zuul queue:
http://zuul.openstack.org/
Thanks to infra for force-merging the patches we urgently needed; hopefully this stays exceptional and we don't face this situation again soon.
We need to reduce the container image prepare to safely stay under the 3 hours for tripleo-ci-centos-7-containers-multinode.
