Problem

The periodic-ci-redhat-developer-rhdh-main-e2e-ocp-operator-nightly CI job has been failing consistently for an extended period, affecting multiple RHDH versions on OpenShift Container Platform.

Affected branches

• release-1.7
• release-1.8
• main

Environment

• Platform: OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) - K8s platforms seem to partially pass, but fails the tests.
• Deployment Method: Operator
• Job Type: Nightly automated tests

Evidence

• Specific Failure: https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/test-platform-results/logs/periodic-ci-redhat-developer-rhdh-main-e2e-ocp-operator-nightly/1983081532838907904
• Job History (showing consistent failures): https://prow.ci.openshift.org/job-history/gs/test-platform-results/logs/periodic-ci-redhat-developer-rhdh-main-e2e-ocp-operator-nightly

Test Scope

This nightly job performs operator-based deployment testing including:

• Base RHDH deployment validation (showcase-operator project)
• RBAC-enabled deployment validation (showcase-operator-rbac project)
• Runtime configuration change tests
• Dynamic plugins configuration
• Redis cache deployment
• Orchestrator plugins and workflows

Impact

• CI pipeline is blocked for operator-based deployments on OCP
• Cannot validate nightly builds for operator deployment method
• Affects quality assurance for multiple release versions

Next Steps

1. Access the Prow logs to identify the specific failure point
2. Review deployment logs and test execution traces
3. Determine if this is a cluster infrastructure issue or a test/deployment issue
4. Implement fix and validate across affected versions
