What / Why

RHIDP-16419

Nightly e2e jobs across the RHDH repositories (rhdh, rhdh-plugin-export-overlays) ran on weekends in several places, each provisioning an on-demand cluster on days when no one is actively triaging results:

  • The primary e2e-ocp-helm-nightly ran daily (including Sat/Sun) on every branch of both repos.
  • main's AKS/EKS/GKE/OSD-GCP/ocp-operator/auth-providers/upgrade nightlies ran on a TUE,THU,SAT,SUN schedule.

Change

  • Primary nightly (e2e-ocp-helm-nightly): daily → Mon-Fri, same hour/minute, on:
    • rhdh: main, release-1.9, release-1.10
    • rhdh-plugin-export-overlays: main, release-1.10
  • main's TUE,THU,SAT,SUN platform nightlies (AKS helm/operator, EKS helm/operator, GKE helm/operator, OSD-GCP helm/operator, ocp-operator-nightly, ocp-operator-auth-providers-nightly, ocp-helm-upgrade-nightly): drop SAT,SUN, keeping TUE,THU.

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

Cleanup/orphan-reaper jobs are explicitly out of scope and left running on their existing schedule (maintenance, not e2e coverage):

  • cleanup-mapt-destroy-orphaned-aks-clusters (Sun)
  • cleanup-mapt-destroy-orphaned-eks-clusters (Sun)
  • cleanup-osd-gcp-cluster (daily)

Also out of scope (already addressed in #84705, currently open): the version-matrix nightlies (e2e-ocp-v4-XX-helm-nightly) and the localization nightly, which that PR reduces to a single weekly weekday run — already satisfying "no weekend runs" for those jobs.

Estimated cost savings

  • Primary nightly weekday restriction (5 jobs: rhdh × 3 branches, plugin-export-overlays × 2 branches): 7→5 runs/week each = 10 fewer on-demand cluster runs/week (~29% reduction on these jobs).
  • main's 9 platform nightlies going from TUE,THU,SAT,SUN (4×/week) to TUE,THU (2×/week): 18 fewer runs/week (50% reduction on these jobs).
  • Total: ~28 fewer on-demand cluster provisions per week.

Note

Config changes only — make update still needs to be run to regenerate ci-operator/jobs/ before merge.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Reduces RHDH nightly CI runs on OpenShift and other platforms to avoid weekend on-demand cluster provisioning.
  • Changes five e2e-ocp-helm-nightly jobs to run Monday through Friday.
  • Changes nine main platform nightlies from four weekly runs to Tuesday and Thursday.
  • Leaves weekday schedules, cleanup jobs, version-matrix nightlies, and localization nightlies unchanged.
  • Expected savings are approximately 28 on-demand cluster provisions per week.
  • Generated ci-operator/jobs/ files must be updated with make update before merge.

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 openshift#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.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates RHDH CI cron schedules. Main nightly jobs now run on Tuesdays and Thursdays or weekdays. Release and plugin overlay OCP Helm jobs now run on weekdays.

Changes

RHDH test schedules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Main nightly schedule updates
ci-operator/config/redhat-developer/rhdh/redhat-developer-rhdh-main.yaml
The main OCP Helm nightly job changes to weekdays. AKS, EKS, GKE, OCP, OSD GCP, authentication-provider, and upgrade nightly jobs change to Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Release and overlay schedule updates
ci-operator/config/redhat-developer/rhdh-plugin-export-overlays/*.yaml, ci-operator/config/redhat-developer/rhdh/redhat-developer-rhdh-release-1.10.yaml, ci-operator/config/redhat-developer/rhdh/redhat-developer-rhdh-release-1.9.yaml
The selected OCP Helm nightly jobs change from daily schedules to weekday-only schedules.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 24c22

The intended reduction in weekend cluster provisioning will not take effect until generated periodic job definitions are updated. The change also reduces authentication-provider and upgrade test frequency without confirmed scope, which may leave coverage gaps; regenerate the jobs and confirm or restore those two schedules before merge.
