There have been a number of failures that indicate poor storage performance in the test pods such as timeouts waiting for the cri-o socket to be ready.

Improving the storage performance by adding additional disks to the nodes and using the LVM storage provider could improve performance over the existing empty_dir option that we are using.

Some example failures:
