Building on issue OSPRH-3667 which extracts crc into a nodepool node, this epic tracks extracting the EDPM nested VMs into nodepool nodes.
The current approach requires a large host VM, with nested VMs inside it representing each bare metal node. This has the following disadvantages:
- Nested virt can be significantly slower for the workloads running within them
- Nested virt can be less reliable, raising the failure rate of CI jobs with no clear root cause
- It is not possible to enable FIPS in test workloads in some environments, due to lack of available entropy
This Epic is to track implementing Redfish virtual media boot with sushy-tools using VMs from the test environment (such as Zuul nodepool nodes)
The impact of this work will be:
- Increased reliability of upstream jobs
- More but smaller VMs required for bare metal jobs
- The ability to reliably test FIPS upstream
- All of the above, but for downstream jobs too.
