Hey Guys,
We currently use ubuntu-desktop RFS's for our daily health checks in LAVA. Its my understanding the dev-platform team will be sunsetting ubuntu-desktop images.
Due to this, I think we (the LAVA team) need to think about moving to a new set of images for our health checks so that they better reflect reality. 2012.11 should be producing some pre-built images for both server and nano. I think picking the server pre-built images probably makes more sense since it gives us a little more coverage than nano, but I don't have a strong sense on whether it makes much difference since we basically just do boot-testing in our health check.
= So what does this mean?
I think we'll need to file a 12.12 blueprint for doing health check investigation work. Essentially, we should build a job for each device-type in production based off its health job. We then update the image URL to be the new candidate. We then submit it 100 times and do a failure analysis. At this point we cross our fingers and hope the failures aren't worse than what we currently see. If so, we can switch the image over. If its not the case, we'll need to work with dev-platform team on getting new issues addressed.
make sense? who wants to help? :)
I've probably got most experience in this, so put me down for it. :)
