SUSE Hack Week: 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.

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:

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

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

Description

This project aims to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright. The move will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging Playwright's modern features. We'll be rewriting the current Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript, which includes updating the test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. This is also necessary because we're moving from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.

If you're still curious about the AI in the title, it was just a way to grab your attention. Thanks for your understanding.

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
