Note: When you look at the link above you will notice some of the failures mention the bare metal operator.  That's being investigated as part of https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-27760.  There have been 3 cases in the last week where the console was in a fail loop.  Here's an example:

https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/test-platform-results/logs/periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-ci-4.15-e2e-azure-ovn-upgrade/1757637415561859072

We need help understanding why this is happening and what needs to be done to avoid it.
