Saltboot ability to deploy OEM images

Description

Saltboot is a system deployment part of Uyuni. It is the mechanism behind deploying Kiwi built system images from central Uyuni server location.

System image is when the image is only of one partition and does not contain whole disk image and deployment system has to take care of partitioning, fstab on top of integrity validation.

However systems like Aeon, SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro and similar are distributed as disk images (also so called OEM images). Saltboot currently cannot deploy these systems.

The main problem to saltboot is however that currently saltboot support is built into the image itself. This step is not desired when using OEM images.

Goals

Saltboot needs to be standalone and be able to deploy OEM images. Responsibility of saltboot would then shrink to selecting correct image, image integrity validation, deployment and boot to deployed system.

    Move Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright by oscar-barrios

    Description

    The goal of this project is to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from using Selenium to Playwright. This migration will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging the modern features of Playwright. The work involves rewriting existing Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript. This will include updating test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. As we also need to move from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.

    Goals

    • Migrate Core tests including Onboarding of clients
    • Improve test reliabillity: Measure and confirm a significant reduction of flakynes.
    • Implement a robust framework: Establish a well-structured and reusable Playwright test framework using the CucumberJS
