What / Why

RHIDP-16420

The OCP version-compatibility nightlies (e2e-ocp-v4-XX-helm-nightly) ran 3×/week per version, and the localization nightly ran daily — each provisioning its own on-demand AWS cluster purely to confirm RHDH still installs/runs on that OCP version / that translations still work.

I verified these are pure compatibility/regression checks: every version-matrix job resolves to the same step ref (redhat-developer-rhdh-ocp-helm-nightly) → the same handle_ocp_nightly handler in the rhdh repo, which runs an identical test suite. The only per-job differences are the claimed OCP version (cluster_claim.version) and OC_CLIENT_VERSION. The daily 4.20 primary nightly already exercises the same suite every day, so reducing the matrix cadence loses no unique signal. The FIPS 4.22 job (already weekly) is the target cadence per the ticket.

Change

Reduce cadence across main, release-1.9, and release-1.10:

  • Version-matrix jobs: 3×/week → 1×/week, packed compactly Monday-first per branch. Each job keeps its original hour/minute; only the day-of-week field changed.

    Version main release-1.10 release-1.9
    4.16 MON
    4.18 MON TUE
    4.19 MON TUE WED
    4.21 TUE WED THU
    4.22 WED THU FRI
  • Localization nightly (e2e-ocp-helm-localization-nightly): daily → weekly on Wednesday (main + release-1.10).

Left unchanged: the already-weekly e2e-ocp-v4-22-fips-helm-nightly (MON), the primary/daily nightlies (core functional coverage), and rhdh-plugin-export-overlays (no matrix/localization jobs).

Estimated cost savings

~40 fewer on-demand AWS cluster provisions per week:

  • Version-matrix: 14 jobs × (3→1 runs/week) = 28 fewer runs/week (~67% reduction)
  • Localization: 2 jobs × (7→1 runs/week) = 12 fewer runs/week (~86% reduction)

Config + generated Prow jobs regenerated via make update.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Reduced OCP version-compatibility nightlies to once per week across main, release-1.9, and release-1.10.
  • Reduced localization nightlies to Wednesdays on main and release-1.10.
  • Preserved existing job times and left FIPS 4.22, primary daily nightlies, and plugin export jobs unchanged.
  • This change is expected to reduce on-demand AWS cluster provisions by approximately 40 per week.

The OCP version-compatibility nightlies (e2e-ocp-v4-XX-helm-nightly) ran
3x/week per version and the localization nightly ran daily, each
provisioning an on-demand cluster. All version-matrix jobs route through
the same handle_ocp_nightly handler and run an identical test suite,
differing only by the claimed OCP version and OC_CLIENT_VERSION, so the
extra cadence adds no unique signal beyond the daily 4.20 primary nightly.

Reduce each version-matrix job to once weekly (compact, per-branch,
Monday-first) and the localization nightly to weekly on Wednesday, across
main, release-1.9, and release-1.10. Each job keeps its original
hour/minute; only the day-of-week changes. The already-weekly 4.22-fips
job and the primary/daily nightlies are left unchanged.

Estimated savings: ~40 fewer on-demand AWS cluster provisions per week
(28 from version-matrix, 12 from localization).

Walkthrough

The pull request changes nightly cron schedules for RHDH OpenShift Helm and localization jobs. Each job now runs on one designated weekday across the main, release 1.10, and release 1.9 configurations.

Changes

RHDH nightly schedules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Weekly cron schedule assignments
ci-operator/config/redhat-developer/rhdh/*.yaml
The nightly localization and OCP version-specific Helm jobs now use single-weekday cron schedules. The changes cover the main, release 1.10, and release 1.9 configurations.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 86445

The OCP 4.22 nightly would start four hours earlier than its established time, contrary to the intended schedule-only cadence reduction. Restore the 05:00 start time before merging.

* RHIDP-16419: restrict RHDH nightly e2e jobs to weekdays only

Nightly e2e jobs across the RHDH repositories (rhdh, rhdh-plugin-export-overlays)
ran on weekends in several places: the primary e2e-ocp-helm-nightly ran
daily (including Sat/Sun) on every branch of both repos, and main's
AKS/EKS/GKE/OSD-GCP/operator/auth-providers/upgrade nightlies ran on a
TUE,THU,SAT,SUN schedule. These consume on-demand cluster provisioning on
days when no one is triaging results.

Restrict all affected jobs to weekdays only:
- Primary e2e-ocp-helm-nightly: daily -> Mon-Fri, on rhdh (main,
  release-1.9, release-1.10) and rhdh-plugin-export-overlays (main,
  release-1.10). Same hour/minute, cadence otherwise unchanged.
- main's TUE,THU,SAT,SUN platform nightlies (AKS, EKS, GKE, OSD-GCP,
  ocp-operator, auth-providers, upgrade): drop SAT,SUN, keeping TUE,THU.

Cleanup/orphan-reaper jobs (cleanup-mapt-destroy-orphaned-*-clusters,
cleanup-osd-gcp-cluster) are explicitly left running daily/weekly on
their existing weekend schedule, as they are maintenance rather than
e2e coverage.

Out of scope (already addressed in #84705): the
version-matrix nightlies (e2e-ocp-v4-XX-helm-nightly) and the
localization nightly, which were reduced to a single weekly weekday run.

release-1.9 and release-1.10 platform nightlies already ran MON,WED,FRI
and needed no change beyond their primary nightly.
