FYI at the weekend I ran an OpenCI Performance test to see if the Tuxsuite AWS changes for running FVP based TF-A tests helps with the management of load and execution times over running the FVP tests on physical servers.
In short it does help!

Greetings All,
The Jenkins servers on ci-staging.trustedfirmware ci.trustedfirmware.org
and mbedtls.trustedfirmware.org will all be put into safe mode in a few
moments in preparation for a shutdown around 6pm UTC today.
The purpose of this is to perform an upgrade to the server to address a
critical CVE discovered for the version of Jenkins running on all servers.
Regards,

Dear Colleagues,
Thanks for your patience while the latest TuxSuite integration issues
were worked our during recent weeks. Last of the systematic FVP
integration issues were addressed end of last week, and since the last
weekend, the system was in the "soft launch" mode to see if there're any
remaining issues. Some intermittent issues were addressed during this
week. As of now, all the main TF-A CI jobs should be converted,
specifically:
* Mainline daily builds
* Mainline L1/L2 patch builds
* LTS2.8 daily builds
* LTS2.8 L1/L2 patch builds
Smaller related issues should also be addressed by now (in particular
https://linaro.atlassian.net/browse/TFC-573 "Make sure that Tux test
failure leads to Jenkins build being set to Failed status" which a
subject of explicit request). But thanks for understanding that we may
still need some tweaks here and there during the coming week(s).
We're launching integration with the highly scalable TuxSuite backend
well in advance of the next mainline release, and just in time for the
anticipated second LTS branch being forked. All that hopefully gives us
enough time to test the new system further and make any following
adjustments as needed. But my testing shows that the main "selling
points" of the new system are already at play - higher scalability and
improved stability due to avoidance of common testing bottlenecks we
experienced during recent times as TF CI coverage and load grew in high
tempo.
Please feel free to share your feedback and/or questions.
Thanks,

Hello,
ECLAIR version 3.13 was released end of last year, and as of now, both
TF-A and TF-M CI jobs are upgraded to this version. The jobs and
reports seem to be well, but please let me know if you see any issues.
Just in case, we keep docker images with the previous version around,
so if there are issues or a need for detailed comparison of result of
old vs new version, we can easily do that.
Thanks,
Paul

Hello,
Overloading and scalability issues have been a known issue with OpenCI
for a long time, usually happening around the release cycles due to
elevated CI activity, but also occurring from time to time during
normal workflow too. That's why last quarter we worked on an actionable
plan to leverage TuxSuite, a recent Linaro technology for
cloud-based building and testing, which proved itself well with other
projects. For this initial pilot project, we're looking to route TF-A
FVP tests (90+% of our test load) to TuxSuite away from LAVA, to
alleviate load on existing build and physical device test
infrastructure.
It was actively worked on during this month, and I'm happy to to report
that initial development and preliminary testing on staging show
encouraging results. I'd like to perform larger-scale testing on
staging yet, but otherwise think that we should be ready to deploy to
production next.
As it's a holiday season with not many working days left, I'm sending
this a bit earlier to make sure it's not forgotten or comes as a
surprise later. The plan is otherwise to test on staging today and/or
over weekend, and then proceed with deployment and validating on
production next week(s).
Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.
Happy holidays,
Paul
