*TL;DR: CentOS CI is going hardwareless and if you wish your project remains using it, we need your opt-in by August 2022.
The Ceph-CSI project is a very happy user of the current CI infrastructure, and we definitely wish to remain using it. We run a set of jobs on a mix of bare-metal systems provided by Duffy and some OpenShift native (containerized).
With recent minikube versions we might be able to run inside a VM, however we do require setting up a (minimal) Ceph cluster per job. The VMs we run on bare-metal get extra disks for the backing storage. If that is an option for the VMs we obtain through Duffy, we should be able to adapt our jobs.
Many thanks! Niels
The EC2 VMs we'll provision will not get any extra disk[s] (not planned so far but we might reconsider and adapt as it should be easy). The other option is to ask for a bare-metal node to Duffy and you just continue to provision yourself VMs on top as you are doing right now. What do you think should match your needs ?
A bare-metal node is the easiest for us. We might be able to run the tests on a VM, but that usually is way less stable and requires more tuning and correction of the CI jobs as updates cause (temporary) breakage. A VM needs to have sufficient CPU, RAM and storage to that we can create block-devices and run Ceph on top of that (in containers?).
Thanks, Niels
