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
