Introduction:
As a qa-automation tester in Product QA for SLES and SUSE-Manager, the SUTs I test (system under test) (like SLE-12-SP2-beta-etc) are changing every day (new packages, patches are merged to SP2, files changes and so on).
Problem: we don't have a tool that give us metadata about the system, like machinery well do.
machinery inspect SUT
machinery show SUT
Problem : what changed from system SLE12-SP-BUILD 8000 from to 8400 ? ( oh, i lost the mail from release manager ! )
machinery compare
Problem : i found a regression with systemd-tests-suite on SLEnkins:
the testsuite fail on BUILD 7400 , but build 7399 is still OK.
what exactly has changed for the package, but also for the system? -> Machinery
Problem: As QA i found a BUG on NFS. I have to report a bug.
Machinery can help me to fill the bug, giving me exact information about really different systems (SLES-12-SP1, openSUSE), etc, what has changed with NFS ? Or Fedora side?
RESULTS
First i want to thank the machinery team, especially Mauro and Manuel that supported me. On this hackweek, have integrated machinery for qa-automation on the library https://github.com/okirch/susetest, and in the SLEnkins automation Framwork.
This work really nice, for scanning systems under test. (SLES, openSUSE)
For qa-automation, machinery works nice and i achieved what i was expecting ! :)
I can scan, compare systems. This could be a FEDORA, DEBIAN, ArchLinux whatever against a openSUSE or a SLES.
In QA and Development, and even Relase Management Perspective this is awesome.
NEW HACK ! :
Revolutionar Perspective for QAAUTOTESTING with Machinery
I'm really glad, i can show you this :
https://slenkins.suse.de/jenkins/job/suite-machinery/32/console
In this example, i compare a SLES-12-SP2-LATEST, with 3-4 builds before.
RESULTS is amazing
With machinery i achieved to compare differents builds from SLES-12-SP2, thanks to the scope, i can see exactly was has changed and was not. I can compare a SLE_12-SP2-GNOME with a SLE-12-SP2-Default, and tracks perfectly changes.
Concrete examples are here :
Scan of a system With console log for machinery ( after the tests are executed) https://slenkins.suse.de/jenkins/view/Test%20suites/job/suite-machinery/13/console
Or with the inspect command redirect to a file.txt to workspace jenkins:
``` setup() machinery_sut = machinery(sut)
try: sometest(sut) machinerysut.inspect() machinerysut.show("tests-machinery") machinerysut.compare("SLE-12-SP2-BUILDXXX-GNOME") ```

For point 2), snapshots would be an alternative. Which does not mean that using machinery to do that is not interesting - on the contrary!

Symbol Relations by hli
Description
There are tools to build function call graphs based on parsing source code, for example, cscope.
This project aims to achieve a similar goal by directly parsing the disasembly (i.e. objdump) of a compiled binary. The assembly code is what the CPU sees, therefore more "direct". This may be useful in certain scenarios, such as gdb/crash debugging.
Detailed description and Demos can be found in the README file:
Supports x86 for now (because my customers only use x86 machines), but support for other architectures can be added easily.
Tested with python3.6
Goals
Any comments are welcome.

Saline (state deployment control and monitoring tool for SUSE Manager/Uyuni) by vizhestkov
Project Description
Saline is an addition for salt used in SUSE Manager/Uyuni aimed to provide better control and visibility for states deploymend in the large scale environments.
In current state the published version can be used only as a Prometheus exporter and missing some of the key features implemented in PoC (not published). Now it can provide metrics related to salt events and state apply process on the minions. But there is no control on this process implemented yet.
Continue with implementation of the missing features and improve the existing implementation:
authentication (need to decide how it should be/or not related to salt auth)
web service providing the control of states deployment
Goal for this Hackweek
Implement missing key features
Implement the tool for state deployment control with CLI

SUSE AI Meets the Game Board by moio
Use tabletopgames.ai’s open source TAG and PyTAG frameworks to apply Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning to two board games of our own design. On an all-green, all-open source, all-AWS stack!
Results: Infrastructure Achievements
We successfully built and automated a containerized stack to support our AI experiments. This included:
- a Fully-Automated, One-Command, GPU-accelerated Kubernetes setup: we created an OpenTofu based script, tofu-tag, to deploy SUSE's RKE2 Kubernetes running on CUDA-enabled nodes in AWS, powered by openSUSE with GPU drivers and gpu-operator
- Containerization of the TAG and PyTAG frameworks: TAG (Tabletop AI Games) and PyTAG were patched for seamless deployment in containerized environments. We automated the container image creation process with GitHub Actions. Our forks (PRs upstream upcoming):
./deploy.sh and voilà - Kubernetes running PyTAG (k9s, above) with GPU acceleration (nvtop, below)
Results: Game Design Insights
Our project focused on modeling and analyzing two card games of our own design within the TAG framework:
- Game Modeling: We implemented models for Dario's "Bamboo" and Silvio's "Totoro" and "R3" games, enabling AI agents to play thousands of games ...in minutes!
- AI-driven optimization: By analyzing statistical data on moves, strategies, and outcomes, we iteratively tweaked the game mechanics and rules to achieve better balance and player engagement.
- Advanced analytics: Leveraging AI agents with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and random action selection, we compared performance metrics to identify optimal strategies and uncover opportunities for game refinement .
- more about Bamboo on Dario's site
- more about R3 on Silvio's site (italian, translation coming)
- more about Totoro on Silvio's site
A family picture of our card games in progress. From the top: Bamboo, Totoro, R3
Results: Learning, Collaboration, and Innovation
Beyond technical accomplishments, the project showcased innovative approaches to coding, learning, and teamwork:
- "Trio programming" with AI assistance: Our "trio programming" approach—two developers and GitHub Copilot—was a standout success, especially in handling slightly-repetitive but not-quite-exactly-copypaste tasks. Java as a language tends to be verbose and we found it to be fitting particularly well.
- AI tools for reporting and documentation: We extensively used AI chatbots to streamline writing and reporting. (Including writing this report! ...but this note was added manually during edit!)
- GPU compute expertise: Overcoming challenges with CUDA drivers and cloud infrastructure deepened our understanding of GPU-accelerated workloads in the open-source ecosystem.
- Game design as a learning platform: By blending AI techniques with creative game design, we learned not only about AI strategies but also about making games fun, engaging, and balanced.
Last but not least we had a lot of fun! ...and this was definitely not a chatbot generated line!

Team Hedgehogs' Data Observability Dashboard by gsamardzhiev
Description
This project aims to develop a comprehensive Data Observability Dashboard that provides r insights into key aspects of data quality and reliability. The dashboard will track:
Data Freshness: Monitor when data was last updated and flag potential delays.
Data Volume: Track table row counts to detect unexpected surges or drops in data.
Data Distribution: Analyze data for null values, outliers, and anomalies to ensure accuracy.
Data Schema: Track schema changes over time to prevent breaking changes.
The dashboard's aim is to support historical tracking to support proactive data management and enhance data trust across the data function.
Goals
Although the final goal is to create a power bi dashboard that we are able to monitor, our goals is to 1. Create the necessary tables that track the relevant metadata about our current data 2. Automate the process so it runs in a timely manner
