Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 (2025-06) highlights for red-hat-storage/ocs-ci: Key feature delivered is upgrade optimization testing by introducing a default 20% update strategy for CSI RBD and CephFS (OCS-6719/6720). Implemented via a new configuration file to enforce a 20% default update strategy for CSI RBD and CephFS plugins, reducing upgrade testing time for OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF) scenarios. Supported from OpenShift version 4.18+. Commit 1d0698be4dbb22a8cebd0812c71e601f5ab15423 documents the change. Impact: faster CI upgrade cycles, more deterministic test outcomes, and improved scalability for upgrade validations. No major bugs fixed this month; primary focus on delivering a reliable, configurable upgrade testing capability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: configuration-driven test automation, CI/CD configuration, YAML/config management, and integration with CSI RBD and CephFS tests in OCS CI.
