MCO-1520 implemented MVP versions of origin tests for MCN. Throughout testing the original origin tests, the e2e tests run against SNO clusters sometimes experienced flakiness and reported errors due to connection loss and errors otherwise not seen in a run against standard clusters.

This task involves investigating the stability of our SNO tests for MCN and implementing additional checks, retry logic, etc. as appropriate to improve our SNO test outcomes. Such improvements might include:

• Check if SNO node is offline, and add retry logic where appropriate (related Slack thread)
• Remove hard erroring out of tests in favor of logging warnings where possible for SNO tests

Done when:

• Stability of SNO tests for MCN is understood
• Updates have been made to improve the stability of our SNO tests
