    Updatecli Autodiscovery supporting WASM plugins by olblak

    Description

    Updatecli is a Golang Update policy engine that allow to write Update policies in YAML manifest. Updatecli already has a plugin ecosystem for common update strategies such as automating Dockerfile or Kubernetes manifest from Git repositories.

    This is what we call autodiscovery where Updatecli generate manifest and apply them dynamically based on some context.

    Obviously, the Updatecli project doesn't accept plugins specific to an organization.

    I saw project using different languages such as python, C#, or JS to generate those manifest.

    It would be great to be able to share and reuse those specific plugins

    During the HackWeek, I'll hang on the Updatecli matrix channel

    https://matrix.to/#/#Updatecli_community:gitter.im

    Goals

    Implement autodiscovery plugins using WASM. I am planning to experiment with https://github.com/extism/extism

    To build a simple WASM autodiscovery plugin and run it from Updatecli

    terraform-provider-feilong by e_bischoff

    Project Description

    People need to test operating systems and applications on s390 platform. While this is straightforward with KVM, this is very difficult with z/VM.

    IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (ICIC) harnesses the Feilong API, but you can use Feilong without installing ICIC(see this schema).

    What about writing a terraform Feilong provider, just like we have the terraform libvirt provider? That would allow to transparently call Feilong from your main.tf files to deploy and destroy resources on your z/VM system.

    Goal for Hackweek 23

    I would like to be able to easily deploy and provision VMs automatically on a z/VM system, in a way that people might enjoy even outside of SUSE.

    My technical preference is to write a terraform provider plugin, as it is the approach that involves the least software components for our deployments, while remaining clean, and compatible with our existing development infrastructure.

    Goals for Hackweek 24

    Feilong provider works and is used internally by SUSE Manager team. Let's push it forward!

    Let's add support for fiberchannel disks and multipath.

    Goals for Hackweek 25

    Create a Cloud-Native policy engine with notifying capabilities to optimize resource usage by gbazzotti

    Description

    The goal of this project is to begin the initial phase of development of an all-in-one Cloud-Native Policy Engine that notifies resource owners when their resources infringe predetermined policies. This was inspired by a current issue in the CES-SRE Team where other solutions seemed to not exactly correspond to the needs of the specific workloads running on the Public Cloud Team space.

    The initial architecture can be checked out on the Repository listed under Resources.

    Among the features that will differ this project from other monitoring/notification systems:

    • Pre-defined sensible policies written at the software-level, avoiding a learning curve by requiring users to write their own policies
    • All-in-one functionality: logging, mailing and all other actions are not required to install any additional plugins/packages
    • Easy account management, being able to parse all required configuration by a single JSON file
    • Eliminate integrations by not requiring metrics to go through a data-agreggator

    Goals

    • Create a minimal working prototype following the workflow specified on the documentation
    • Provide instructions on installation/usage
    • Work on email notifying capabilities

    Flaky Tests AI Finder for Uyuni and MLM Test Suites by oscar-barrios

    Description

    Our current Grafana dashboards provide a great overview of test suite health, including a panel for "Top failed tests." However, identifying which of these failures are due to legitimate bugs versus intermittent "flaky tests" is a manual, time-consuming process. These flaky tests erode trust in our test suites and slow down development.

    This project aims to build a simple but powerful Python script that automates flaky test detection. The script will directly query our Prometheus instance for the historical data of each failed test, using the jenkins_build_test_case_failure_age metric. It will then format this data and send it to the Gemini API with a carefully crafted prompt, asking it to identify which tests show a flaky pattern.

    The final output will be a clean JSON list of the most probable flaky tests, which can then be used to populate a new "Top Flaky Tests" panel in our existing Grafana test suite dashboard.

    Goals

    By the end of Hack Week, we aim to have a single, working Python script that:

    1. Connects to Prometheus and executes a query to fetch detailed test failure history.
    2. Processes the raw data into a format suitable for the Gemini API.
    3. Successfully calls the Gemini API with the data and a clear prompt.
    4. Parses the AI's response to extract a simple list of flaky tests.
    5. Saves the list to a JSON file that can be displayed in Grafana.
    6. New panel in our Dashboard listing the Flaky tests

    Kubernetes-Based ML Lifecycle Automation by lmiranda

    Description

    This project aims to build a complete end-to-end Machine Learning pipeline running entirely on Kubernetes, using Go, and containerized ML components.

    The pipeline will automate the lifecycle of a machine learning model, including:

    • Data ingestion/collection
    • Model training as a Kubernetes Job
    • Model artifact storage in an S3-compatible registry (e.g. Minio)
    • A Go-based deployment controller that automatically deploys new model versions to Kubernetes using Rancher
    • A lightweight inference service that loads and serves the latest model
    • Monitoring of model performance and service health through Prometheus/Grafana

    The outcome is a working prototype of an MLOps workflow that demonstrates how AI workloads can be trained, versioned, deployed, and monitored using the Kubernetes ecosystem.

    Goals

    By the end of Hack Week, the project should:

    1. Produce a fully functional ML pipeline running on Kubernetes with:

      • Data collection job
      • Training job container
      • Storage and versioning of trained models
      • Automated deployment of new model versions
      • Model inference API service
      • Basic monitoring dashboards

    2. Showcase a Go-based deployment automation component, which scans the model registry and automatically generates & applies Kubernetes manifests for new model versions.

    3. Enable continuous improvement by making the system modular and extensible (e.g., additional models, metrics, autoscaling, or drift detection can be added later).

    4. Prepare a short demo explaining the end-to-end process and how new models flow through the system.

    Self-Scaling LLM Infrastructure Powered by Rancher by ademicev0

    Self-Scaling LLM Infrastructure Powered by Rancher

    logo

    Description

    The Problem

    Running LLMs can get expensive and complex pretty quickly.

    Today there are typically two choices:

    1. Use cloud APIs like OpenAI or Anthropic. Easy to start with, but costs add up at scale.
    2. Self-host everything - set up Kubernetes, figure out GPU scheduling, handle scaling, manage model serving... it's a lot of work.

    What if there was a middle ground?

    What if infrastructure scaled itself instead of making you scale it?

    Can we use existing Rancher capabilities like CAPI, autoscaling, and GitOps to make this simpler instead of building everything from scratch?

    Project Repository: github.com/alexander-demicev/llmserverless

    What This Project Does

    A key feature is hybrid deployment: requests can be routed based on complexity or privacy needs. Simple or low-sensitivity queries can use public APIs (like OpenAI), while complex or private requests are handled in-house on local infrastructure. This flexibility allows balancing cost, privacy, and performance - using cloud for routine tasks and on-premises resources for sensitive or demanding workloads.

    A complete, self-scaling LLM infrastructure that:

    • Scales to zero when idle (no idle costs)
    • Scales up automatically when requests come in
    • Adds more nodes when needed, removes them when demand drops
    • Runs on any infrastructure - laptop, bare metal, or cloud

    Think of it as "serverless for LLMs" - focus on building, the infrastructure handles itself.

    How It Works

    A combination of open source tools working together:

    Flow:

    • Users interact with OpenWebUI (chat interface)
    • Requests go to LiteLLM Gateway
    • LiteLLM routes requests to:
      • Ollama (Knative) for local model inference (auto-scales pods)
      • Or cloud APIs for fallback
