PROFILE

Tomer Newman

Over nine months, contributed to the openshift/release repository by engineering robust CI/CD pipelines and expanding GPU operator test coverage for both AMD and NVIDIA platforms. Focused on configuration management and automation, this work included migrating deployments from environment-variable-based setups to declarative YAML, onboarding new operator repositories, and implementing dynamic cluster provisioning using Kubernetes and OpenShift. Leveraging Python scripting and YAML configuration, the developer improved release reliability by refining skip logic, enabling parallel job execution, and integrating post-test diagnostics. These enhancements reduced flakiness, accelerated feedback cycles, and broadened validation across multiple OpenShift versions, strengthening release stability and maintainability throughout the pipeline.

Feb 1, 2026

February 2026: AMD GPU Operator CI and testing enhancements in openshift/release delivering robust parallel CI, improved observability, and broader multi-OpenShift validation. Implemented PCI_DEVICES env var for GPU passthrough, fixed kubeconfig hostname resolution in test steps, enabled leasing for parallel CI jobs, updated must-gather log paths, added AWS edge cluster profile, and integrated AMD CI tests with simplified env vars for multi-OpenShift testing. Also temporarily disabled 4.22 images to stabilize CI while migrating to amd-ci repo-based test execution. This work accelerates feedback cycles, increases CI reliability, and strengthens edge deployment readiness across clusters.

Jan 1, 2026

January 2026 monthly summary focused on delivering AMD provisioning and YAML-based deployment/config for AMD testing in openshift/release. Key initiative was migrating deployment from an environment-variable-based setup to a declarative YAML configuration to align with upstream changes, improving deployment reliability and AMD testing capabilities. Implemented provisioning to create an AMD-based machine via REMOTE_HOST and executed AMD tests through eco-gotests, enabling consistent, reproducible validation across environments. This work strengthens CI alignment with upstream AMD CI interfaces and reduces setup complexity for AMD testing.

Dec 1, 2025

In 2025-12, delivered a major overhaul of the AMD GPU CI pipeline for openshift/release, expanding test coverage, unifying workflows, and tightening control over image execution to boost reliability and maintainability. The work reduces flakiness, speeds feedback, and scales testing across multiple versions.

October 2025

2 Commits • 1 Features

Oct 1, 2025

OpenShift release CI improvements and AMD testing enablement for 2025-10. Delivered two primary items in openshift/release: (1) Fixed CI skip logic so changes to workflows and versions.json trigger only relevant tests, removing unnecessary CI runs; (2) Onboarded rh-ecosystem-edge/amd-ci into the CI system and configured the necessary OWNERS, CI-operator jobs, and Prow plugin settings to enable AMD operator testing on OpenShift. Impact: more accurate CI feedback, reduced resource waste, and expanded test coverage for AMD operators. Technologies used include OpenShift CI, CI-operator, Prow, OWNERS, and versioned test configurations.

September 2025

Sep 1, 2025

September 2025 monthly summary for openshift/release: Delivered NVIDIA GPU Operator CI pipeline configuration for OpenShift 4.21 (stable). Implemented new CI configuration files defining build roots, image streams, and end-to-end test configurations for different release channels and versions, establishing a robust CI pipeline within the OpenShift ecosystem. This work is associated with commit 830bf260256f5dad1d53c39315363b183f2f8989 (Adding 4.21 Nvidia GPU operator CI files).
