Goal

Analyze vSphere CI jobs to determine if there are systematic permafailing patterns that need attention.

Research Questions

• Which vSphere CI jobs are consistently failing?
• What are the primary failure modes and root causes?
• Are failures infrastructure-related or code-related?
• What patterns exist across different vSphere job variants?

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] Analysis of failure rates across vSphere CI jobs over past 30 days
• [ ] Categorization of failure types (infra vs code vs flake)
• [ ] Identification of jobs that meet permafail criteria
• [ ] Recommendations for remediation actions
• [ ] Summary report with findings and next steps

Definition of Done

• Research findings documented with data and analysis
• Clear recommendations provided for any permafailing jobs identified
• Follow-up tasks created based on findings
