Hi all,
Camilla announced this in december already
(https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/ci-users/2022-December/thread.html)
and we sent multiple reminders about that.
The plan was already knew since it was decided to move the whole CI
infra to AWS (announced in June 2022) but the last bit that had to move
was the openshift CI cluster (aka *.apps.ocp.ci.centos.org) to AWS
(https://console-openshift-console.apps.ocp.cloud.ci.centos.org/)
As the new cluster in AWS is deployed since end of November you still
have to migrate your workload from old to new cluster, and that *before*
end of March 2023 (see
https://sigs.centos.org/guide/ci/#migration-to-new-ci-instance)
We'll continue to send such reminders as long as we see tenants who
haven't migrated (yet)
We prefer announce it multiple times so that nobody will ask "where is
my app gone ?" when the whole cluster will be powered down end of March.
PS: if you have already migrated, please confirm to us so that we can
already delete your project/namespace/storage PV in the previous cluster.
Kind Regards,

Due to a mandatory network maintenance at the RDU2 (Community Cage)
facility/DC, we'll have to power off some CentOS infrastructure
components hosted in that DC.
Impacted services:
- https://cbs.centos.org (impossible to submit any build, nor push to
delivery network)
- https://bugs.centos.org
- ns1.centos.org
- https://wiki.centos.org
- all centos linux / stream 8 / stream 9 release engineering workflow
(stream 9 can be built but not pushed out, while for the rest, all will
be down)
- https://git.centos.org
- CI infra:
- while openshift in aws is self-contained, there will be no way to
request duffy nodes for tests
- tenants still on legacy openshift (hosted in that DC) will see the
whole cluster being powered down (because of Persistent Volumes hosted
in a NFS server that itself will be unavailable)
- various other services
Migration is scheduled for """"Tuesday January 31th, 1:00 pm UTC time"""".
You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2023-01-31 13:00 UTC')
The scheduled maintenance window (communicated to us) is estimated to
4h, but we'll restart infra services as soon as possible, following
ourselves the current status internally.
Thanks for your understanding and patience.
on behalf of the Infra team,

Dear CentOS CI User,
Please be advised that the CentOS CI PROD Openshift cluster is due for
scheduled maintenance from 12pm to 2pm UTC on Jan 16th. During this period
necessary updates will be applied to the cluster, and will be upgraded from
version 4.11.18 to 4.11.21
Every service under **apps.ocp.cloud.ci.centos.org
<http://apps.ocp.cloud.ci.centos.org>* might be affected.
Pods will be restarted, so it's suggested to pause your Jenkins jobs, and
there might be periods of slight performance degradation during this
maintenance period.
We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Kind regards,
CentOS CI Infrastructure.
Hello everyone,
Today Fabian upgraded our OCP in stg and I'll upgrade the prod one on Monday

*TL;DR: new OpenShift instance is up and running for CentOS CI, migrate
your workloads by March 31st, 2023. Test your access to both the Duffy API
and the new OpenShift instance by the end of 2022. CentOS CI changes
approaching the end of Phase 3. *
Hello everyone,
We are happy to announce that the new OpenShift instance is up and running
(ticket [0]). For the tenants that opted in to continue using CentOS CI,
you are being required to *migrate your workload to the new OpenShift
instance by the end of Q1CY23*, with the final deadline being *March 31st,
2023*.
In order to support you through the migration process, the team has created
a quick guide that can be found in [1].
We would also like to request you test your access to both the Duffy API
and the new OpenShift instance by the *end of 2022*. Please reach out to us
in case it is not working.
Here is the link to the new OCP cluster [2]. As a reminder, this new OCP
cluster is running in AWS, on top of EC2 instances, so coming with
different limitations when compared with “on-premises bare-metal OCP
deployments”. One notable change is that it is not possible to expose
/dev/kvm and so there is no way for tenants to deploy VMs through OpenShift
(like with the kubevirt operator or else). Tenants having a need to use VMs
can then request some through Duffy API.
Finally, here's a friendly reminder of the CentOS CI changes' current
status.
According to our previous communications [3], we are approaching the end of
the last phase of the changes that have been implemented to CentOS CI.
*Phase 3 - Decommission*
- Legacy/compatibility API deprecated and requests (even for EC2
instances) will no longer be accepted
- All tenants that opted in will be using only EC2 for aarch64/x86_64
and on-premise cloud for ppc64le
For a full description of the project phases, you can check [3].
Please, feel free to reach out to us in case you have any questions or
concerns.
