Hello everyone,

This is a friendly reminder of the current and upcoming status of CentOS CI changes (check [1]).

Projects that opted-in for continuing on CentOS CI have been migrated, and the new Duffy API is available. With that, phase 0 has been completed.

Regarding phase 1, we are still working on a permanent fix for the DB Concurrency issues [2]. Also, as for our OpenShift new deployment, we have a staging environment up and running, and it should be available at the beginning of September 2022.

In October 2022 we begin phase 2 when we will work through the following items (these were also previously communicated in [1]):

legacy/compatibility API endpoint will handover EC2 instances instead of local seamicro nodes (VMs vs bare metal)
bare-metal options will be available through the new API only
legacy seamicro and aarch64/ThunderX hardware are decommissioned
only remaining "on-premises" option is ppc64le (local cloud)Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns

The final deadline for decommissioning the old infrastructure (phase 3) is December 2022. We will be communicating further until then, and meanwhile, reach out to any of us in case you have any questions.

Regards,
