Hi CI tenants !
Just a reminder that (as you know it) CentOS Stream 8 will go EOL in May
and then CentOS Linux 7 itself going EOL in June (so very soon)
That would mean that we'll just remove the various pools that provide
CentOS 8s and 7 for your tests.
Reason is that mirror network itself will be unavailable and so all
tests would fail anyway.
Happy to discuss here but we'll send reminders about when we'll just
remove the various pools in Duffy.
I also need to find an option for something else that you *still* all
use when using Jenkins on openshift cluster : our cico-workspace image
(https://quay.io/repository/centosci/cico-workspace)
That one is "problematic" as it's based on upstream openshift jenkins
agent
(https://github.com/openshift/jenkins/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#hosted-…)
These ones are based on UBI8 and it seems that there is (still) no
momentum to move to UBI9 (don't have direct contact with them though)
While our current images were based from the upstream ones, we could
just "convert" these to 8s
(https://github.com/centosci/images/blob/master/cico-workspace/Dockerfile#L1
and
https://github.com/centosci/images/blob/master/cico-workspace/Dockerfile#L8)
We need to find a solution but was wondering if just using vault
(archived mirror content) would be a good solution or not : tempted
myself to answer "no" as that would mean running container that will
*never* be updated for security reasons (CentOS Stream 8 going EOL in May)
Opinions, thoughts ?
