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!

    Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil

    Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek

    Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!

    Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.

    For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.

    No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)

    The idea is testing Salt (including bootstrapping with bootstrap script) and Salt-ssh clients

    To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):

    1. Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
    2. Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
    3. Package management (install, remove, update...)
    4. Patching
    5. Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
    6. Salt remote commands
    7. Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
    8. Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
    9. Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
    10. Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)

    If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)

    • If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
    • If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.

    This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

    We started writin a Guide: Adding a new client GNU Linux distribution to Uyuni at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/wiki/Guide:-Adding-a-new-client-GNU-Linux-distribution-to-Uyuni, to make things easier for everyone, specially those not too familiar wht Uyuni or not technical.

    openSUSE Leap 16.0

    The distribution will all love!

    Curent Status We started last year, it's complete now for Hack Week 25! :-D

    • [W] Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file) NOTE: Done, client tools for SLMicro6 are using as those for SLE16.0/openSUSE Leap 16.0 are not available yet
    • [W] Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
    • [W] Package management (install, remove, update...). Works, even reboot requirement detection

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles capabilities from YAST by miguelpc

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles features from YAST

    Cockpit and System Roles have been added to SLES 16 There are several capabilities in YAST that are not yet present in Cockpit and System Roles We will follow the principle of "automate first, UI later" being System Roles the automation component and Cockpit the UI one.

    Goals

    The idea is to implement service configuration in System Roles and then add an UI to manage these in Cockpit. For some capabilities it will be required to have an specific Cockpit Module as they will interact with a reasource already configured.

    Resources

    A plan on capabilities missing and suggested implementation is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhX-Ip9MKJNeKSYV3bSZG4Qc5giuY7XSV0U61Ecu9lo/edit

    Liz - Prompt autocomplete by ftorchia

    Description

    Liz is the Rancher AI assistant for cluster operations.

    Goals

    We want to help users when sending new messages to Liz, by adding an autocomplete feature to complete their requests based on the context.

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Can you show me the list of p"
    • Autocomplete suggestion: "Can you show me the list of p...od in local cluster?"

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Show me the logs of #rancher-"
    • Chat console: It shows a drop-down widget, next to the # character, with the list of available pod names starting with "rancher-".

    Technical Overview

    1. The AI agent should expose a new ws/autocomplete endpoint to proxy autocomplete messages to the LLM.
    2. The UI extension should be able to display prompt suggestions and allow users to apply the autocomplete to the Prompt via keyboard shortcuts.
