May 2026 Monthly Summary for RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests: Delivered architecture-aware Fedora VM boot stability across architectures by updating the fedora_vm_with_instance_type fixture to dynamically select the Fedora VM preference based on the detected CPU architecture. This change prevented SecureBoot-related boot failures on s390x and fixed boot-timeouts in multi-arch test suites. The fix was implemented in the commit db766863306a8a2800acc885624f5035612b2014 and merged via PR #4890. The update also replaces hardcoded, architecture-specific assumptions with an architecture-aware approach, improving consistency of test runs across amd64, s390x, and other architectures. Key outcomes include reduced flaky behavior in Fedora VM boot tests, fewer timeouts for test_disk_falloc, and more reliable automated validation across architectures. This directly supports broader multi-arch CI coverage and faster feedback for platform compatibility. Top 3-5 achievements: - Architecture-aware Fedora VM preference in storage fixtures implemented (commit db766863306a8a2800acc885624f5035612b2014; PR #4890). - Dynamic architecture-based VM preference naming to avoid SecureBoot incompatibilities on non-amd64 architectures. - Stabilized Fedora VM boot across architectures, reducing test_disk_falloc timeouts on s390x. - Improved fixture reliability and cross-arch test consistency, enabling safer multi-arch CI validation.
