----------------------------------
I'm not sure we need to invest in this if the aim is to more to ephemeral slaves,
either containers or VMs.
Create an automated update mechanism for slaves
-----------------------------------------------
Key: OVIRT-1835
URL:
https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1835
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Jenkins Slaves
Reporter: Barak Korren
Assignee: infra
Labels: slaves
While we already have an automated mechanism for controlling the YUM/DNF repo
configuration on slaves, and we also already have a way to install or update components
that are critical to the CI system (Both are provided by '{{global-setup.sh}}'),
we're lacking a mechanism that can apply general system updates, and more importantly,
kernel updates to slaves.
Some things we'd like such a mechanism to provide:
* Require a minimal amount of manual work (Best case scenario - nothing more then merging
a repository update patch would be needed).
* Test updated slaves before putting them back to production use
* Allow rolling back failed updates
