Hi all SIGs!
As we all switched (for SIGs) to gitlab.com in the last months (and final archive was done for all /rpms/* and other projects still on pagure/git.centos.org) some SIGs started to explore other gitlab features, like CI/CD.
We got this week a warning from Gitlab about our CentOS project almost reaching the allocated quota in our sponsored account there, but it should be reset on monthly basis and it shouldn't be blocking any of your CI/CD pipelines for this week.
But we still need to verify about which SIGs are (ab)using the "compute minutes" allocated for our account and find a better/optimized way to let you still use CI/CD features, but maybe by offloading to some dedicated runners we'd spin up in our own infra . I just created yesterday ticket https://gitlab.com/CentOS/infra/tracker/-/issues/1743 to track this (but need some investigation and time which I had not planned to spent on gitlab for now)
Actually the top 3 projects/groups under CentOS org on gitlab using computes minutes for August are :
- https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/src/automotive-image-builder (~17200 minutes so far) - https://gitlab.com/CentOS/Hyperscale/rpms/systemd (~5400 minutes so far) - https://gitlab.com/CentOS/kmods/rpms/kernel (~1300 minutes so far)
We clearly see an exponential growth for compute minutes usage, but we'd also remind each SIG/project hosted there to be "good citizen" and so think that they are quotas in place that would eventually impact other hosted projects.
Hi,
While one of the three projects mentioned with the most used compute minutes is from the Kmods SIG, I suspect that the smaller kmod-* packages also contribute significantly due to their number. Is it possible to get the total number of compute minutes used by the CentOS/kmods group in August? Or even a detailed list of the compute minutes used per project in August? I couldn't find this data in GitLab. This would be very helpful for knowing which projects to look at more closely and trying to reduce the compute minutes used.
Concerning CentOS/kmods/rpms/kernel: I have implemented a change which will hopefully significantly reduce the compute minutes used by this project. Let's see what the numbers look like next month.

I initially didn't want to send all details (don't want to give impression to do "finger pointing") but otoh, it's good for awareness and visibility so you'll find the list below , with statistics for August. Worth knowing that there was a reset on September 1st (yesterday) so no CI/CD pipeline/job was affected, but still something to investigate and worth adding docs about shared runners and (ab)using duffy ci machines (https://docs.centos.org/centos-sig-guide/ci/#duffy-ephemeral-bare-metalvirtu...)
So something like : gitlab runner, spinning ephemeral container for each job and depending on the job, people can then also request duffy ci ephemeral machines to cover multiple versions/architectures. I'll hope to have time to design a simple PoC around this, but have currently priority elsewhere :)
