    Description

      Goal

      Remove Jenkins from the OCP Payload.

      Problem

      • Jenkins images are "non-trival in size, impact experience around OCP payloads
      • Security advisories cannot be handled once, but against all actively supported OCP releases, adding to response time for handling said advisories
      • Some customers may now want to upgrade Jenkins as OCP upgrades (making this configurable is more ideal)

      Why is this important

      • This is an engineering motivated item to reduce costs so we have more cycles for strategic work
      • Aside from the team itself, top level OCP architects want this to reduce the image size, improve general OCP upgrade experience
      • Sends a mix message with respect to what is startegic CI/CI when Jenkins is baked into OCP, but Tekton/Pipelines is an add-on, day 2 install sort of thing

      Dependencies (internal and external)

      See epic linking - need alternative non payload image available to provide relatively seamless migration

       

      Also, the EP for this is approved and merged at https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/blob/master/enhancements/builds/remove-jenkins-payload.md

      Estimate (xs, s, m, l, xl, xxl):

      Questions:

             PARTIAL ANSWER ^^:  confirmed with Ben Parees in https://coreos.slack.com/archives/C014MHHKUSF/p1646683621293839 that EP merging is currently sufficient OCP "technical leadership" approval.
