  • review test API with Matteo
    • annotation approach to warn if changing generated code possible?
      • test to enforce code matches openapi.yaml
    • 202 from POST
    • POST return location header
    • can we give indication of when to retry ?
      • may need to have inspector know more about tests
    • infer source account from endpoint called
    • change /test/<smoke | etc>
      • target suite version as own endpoint
      • POST /capability-test/smoke//
      • POST /capability-test/integration/
        • target account, cluster, region, partner, suite
      • POST /capability-test/acceptance/
        • target account, cluster, region, partner, suite
    • naming: suite -> component
    • include v1 in endpoint
  • api changes
    • return 202 from long-running POST
    • return Location header (allows dumber client, automatically connecting POST and GET enspoints)
    • dedicated endpoints for smoke and acceptance tests
      • does ‘capability-test’ make sense as the umbrella term?
      • I personally think it is closer to ‘acceptance’ and ’test’ should be the umberlla term but leaving it as capability test is already recognised
    • ’target-suite’ renamed ‘component’
      • The rationale is to avoid test internals bleeding through
      • but ‘component’ is a vague and over-loaded term ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
    • include v1 in endpoint path to permit future change
      • I have not done this for the existing endpoints, they can easily add v2 if and when needed
  • impl changes
    • strfdate start and end times in NewRelic listener

    • daily run testing (as opposed to reconciliation)

  • implementation of cap test endpoints

2024-08-20

  • fighting with NR api (not metric but event)
  • got Khush’s inspector ORs updated and merged, inc. 0.6.4 release

2024-08-19

  • release inspector 0.6.4 for Khush
  • further clarify checks of ingresses with Felipe)
  • and cloud foundation stack with Ashish
  • Planning mtg
    • follow up assessments

2024-08-16

  • DRAFT: System component impact
  • 1-2-1
    • pain of shared resposibility amd Karpenter
    • cloud foundary
    • app container layer on top of cortex
    • inspector cap test endpoints
      • mocked
      • feature flag enabled tests
    • sciencedirect
      • gocd from thoughtworks
      • already bought into developers develop and hand over
    • cortex apps
      • proto plan
        • MVP:
          • register name, cost code and ???
          • assume docker image in public repo that runs http service
          • delivers GHA: aka Initializr
          • hello world running
          • log to new relic and expose over Grafana
          • metrics to new relic and expose over Grafana
          • no secrets
        • Testing / Acceptance / Production readiness
          • app tests (partner provided, cortex executed)
        • Later
          • host domain
          • ‘app groups’ that app can talk to
          • kube watcher to report OOM etc -> refer to specialist
          • cortex vault
        • How to cross-charge?
          • Gigabyte hour + standing charge to cover empty cluster
          • scale down out of hours
          • deployment (effectively entire app) for each PR

2024-08-14

  • digging self out of hole over stupid comment on slack
  • unit testing aws route53
  • Knowledge Karpenter call

2024-08-13

  • dropped cap test “Do you want me to rush the rush job I am rushing now, or rush the rush job you wanted me to rush, before I rush the rush job I’m rushing now, or rush the rush job I was rushing before.”
  • wasted time on understanding aws_route53.py:
    • two lists, one derived from the other, the base not cached, the derived is
  • 2h mtg on hotfix or rollback aws ingress controller change

2024-08-12

  • fighting building new image for capability tests
    • large, slow builds and unstable zscaler
    • changes associated with updating deps
    • nothing on the actual problem!
  • retro: 1h

2024-08-09

  • discussion about testing
    • general agreement, refinement
      • new inspector endpoint for testing inc. reply
  • capability testing
    • figured out how to do Kustomize with Matteo & Luis
    • deployed master build as 0.3.0 image to artifactory
    • can use overlay for TARGET_SUITE=calico
    • next test for TARGET_SUITE=calico smoke
  • stand up
    • Karpenter
      • Could roll out Karpenter controller, then add NodePools, then set MNG to not schedule, then drain MNG
      • Potentially could push MNG decomissioning closer to partner control
      • Use ‘when empty’ set as flag to decomission node pool not ‘when ???’ as currently
        • may slow down urgancy and eliminate ‘churn’

2024-08-07

  • call w Matteo and Liam for testing integrated with reconciliation

    • unit tests: simple e ghelm dry run (outside eks)

    • integration and acceptance tests similar but tolerate more expense (tiem) for acceptance

    • also smoke

    • need API

    • how to get output, custom new relic event?

    • todo

      • agree terminology
      • agree whcih clustr / tier can exercise hich tests
      • smoke integrate version

2024-08-05

  • fix sonar issues
    • cluster diffs
  • planning
    • ORR, complete page pass to Neil
    • Inspector feedback: approach Fabricio, John Miller, Mark Ferrari or Rob and then Juan Ipi.
    • capability test scheduling
    • security patch script to pick up from Daniel’s documentation
    • thinking about ops tool
      • publish Thomas’ tool to Slack
      • cronjob like cap test?

2024-08-02

  • time: 09:00-11:15, 12:30-
  • poetry pre-commit
    • cannot commit git hook, developer has to enable somehow, integrate into build script?
