Nov 1, 2024Month: 2024-11 – concise monthly summary for the developer's work focused on business value and technical achievements in the os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse repository. The major effort was optimizing the HANA stop process within test workflows. A bug fix removed the redundant wait_for_ssh during stop_hana when using the crash method and instead relied on wait_hana_node_up to determine readiness, streamlining the stop path and reducing test run times and flakiness.
