Title:
Downstream patch CI is incomplete, slow and under-resourced.
Details:
When backporting features we often have to rely on upstream CI to do backports because we do not test properly in patch CI.
Comment:
Backports to branches without upstream CI can take multiple days to iterate (6 hour queue time + 6 hour runtime make a downstream run a multi-day event). This is compounded by the fact we cannot always run tests locally.
AI:
Reuse upstream Zuul job definitions in patch CI, using bindep to install from RPM. Open question on what to do for integration tests (devstack on RPM? Standalone? Drop integration in patch CI entirely?)
Status check: OSP 17 moved to octario-less upstream-inheriting jobs, left to figure out:
- integration tests (devstack?)
- move to rhel 9 cloud- images when they become available
