qe-ceph-manifest

This repository contains the details of the tested / testing Ceph component versions against each release.

It is used by IBM Storage Ceph QE and CI systems for deploying the necessary test environments.

Schema

The schema of a manifest file is

nightly:
  version: <ceph-version>
  repositories:
    default:
      <os-release>: <repo-link>
    eu-de:
      <os-release>: <repo-link>
    tucson:
      <os-release>: <repo-link>
  images:
    ceph-base: <container-registry-namespace>
    <images...>: <container-registry-namesapce>

# Only for released versions of Red Hat platform
  repo_ids:
    <platform>: <ceph-repo-id-for-platform>

Keys - Level 1

The root level keys that map to --build-type in cephci

Key	Description	Type
nightly	Contains details of the last nightly / CI build.	map
stable	Contains details of a nightly build that has passed the Sanity test suite.	map
rc	Contains details of the release-candidate build.	map
respin	Contains details of a ceph respin on the latest release.	map
released	Contains details of the latest general availability.	map
zN	Contains details of the N z-stream generally available build.	map

Keys - Level 2

Key	Description	Type
version	Ceph NVR based on ceph-common	str
repositories	Key value pairs of RPM repo links or baseurl for supported platforms	map
images	Key value pairs of Container images	map

Usage

Enable cephci to pick the right manifest using the below options

--product     The product to be deployed which <community | ibm | ceph>
--release     The product version to be deployed. Example <9.2 | 8.1 | 7.1>
--build-type  The type of build to be deployed. Example <nightly | stable | rc | respin | released | z1>
--platform    The test environment platform. Example <rhel-9 | rhel-10 | centos-9>

Notes

Key points to remember

Container registries

• IBM production (ibm-prod) uses cp.icr.io (for released / z0 / z1 / zN)
• IBM staging / preprod (ibm-stage) uses preprod.icr.io (for nightly / stable / rc / respin)
• cp.stg.icr.io is decommissioned; replace any remaining references with preprod.icr.io
• Red Hat production (rh-prod) uses registry.redhat.io (for released / z0 / z1 / zN)
• Red Hat staging uses registry.stage.redhat.io (for stable / rc / respin; some nightly / stable sections still use quay.io)
• Legacy Red Hat engineering proxy: registry-proxy.engineering.redhat.com
• Community Ceph images typically use quay.ceph.io / quay.io

Section conventions

• nightly points to the latest CI / testing build (not GA content)
• stable points to a sanity-passed testing build (IBM: preprod.icr.io; RH: often registry.stage.redhat.io or quay.io)
• rc points to the release-candidate content used before GA
• respin points to respin builds of a released stream (repos may be GA; images may still be preprod.icr.io until promoted)
• released and zN point to generally available content with production registries and public-facing repositories
• IBM public repos are under https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/storage/ceph/
• Lab mirrors for IBM use http://repo.qe.ceph.lab/repos/ceph/{testing|released}/ibm/...

Ensure the local Container Registry holds the necessary images.
