Epic Goal

• Create a new informing lane in CI which includes the functional tests from OCPVE-163 and the latency tests from the RHEL Shift Left initiative started by the Telco RAN team.
• Enable the informing lane to run on bare metal on a consistent set of hardware.

Why is this important?

• We document that running workloads on OpenShift with a realtime kernel works but testing, in practice, is often done in a bespoke fashion in teams outside of OpenShift. This epic seeks to close the gap of automated integration testing OpenShift running a realtime kernel on real metal hardware.

Acceptance Criteria

• CI - MUST be running successfully with tests automated
• Release Technical Enablement - Provide necessary release enablement details and documents.

Previous Work (Optional):

1. OCPVE-163
2. https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/blob/master/enhancements/support-for-realtime-kernel.md

Open questions:

1. What is the cost/licensing requirements for metal hardware (Equinix?) to support this new lane?
   1. How many jobs do we run and for how often?
2. How do we integrate the metal hardware with Prow?
3. Who should own this lane long term?
4. Does OpenShift make any performance guarantees/promises?
