Description OpenShift BugZilla Robot 2020-05-22 01:40:09 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1837642 +++

Description of problem:

On GCP all resources are prefixed with infra-id, which currently is 12 chars with 6 chars used by random bit, leaving only 6 chars from cluster name. This causes trouble associating the cluster to jobs in CI as most of the identifyable characters are dropped from the resource names in CI due to this restriction.

Also because of the previous restriction, only one char are used from pool's name, making is highly likely to collide in cases there are more.

4.4.z PR is in the merge queue, even if it merges tonight, goes to VERIFIED I think we're fine waiting on this until next week. I'd rather not rush a fix to 4.4.z and 4.3.z in the same week.

This was fixed in 4.4.8 but won't be backported to 4.3.
