CNTRLPLANE-3441: Remove aws-ipi-ovn-hypershift n-minor skew tests from openshift-tests…

[mgencur]

…-private

Remove n1minor, n2minor, and n3minor guest and mgmt periodic tests from 4.21, 4.22, and 5.0 amd64-nightly configs. These version skew tests are redundant with the skew testing in openshift/hypershift.

Fixes https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/CNTRLPLANE-3441
See JIRA for why they're being removed.

Summary

This PR removes redundant version-skew tests from the openshift-tests-private CI configuration across three release versions. Specifically, it eliminates the n1minor, n2minor, and n3minor guest and management periodic test entries for aws-ipi-ovn-hypershift from the amd64-nightly test streams for OpenShift 4.21, 4.22, and 5.0.

Changes

The removal affects three CI configuration files:

• ci-operator/config/openshift/openshift-tests-private/openshift-openshift-tests-private-release-4.21__amd64-nightly.yaml
• ci-operator/config/openshift/openshift-tests-private/openshift-openshift-tests-private-release-4.22__amd64-nightly.yaml
• ci-operator/config/openshift/openshift-tests-private/openshift-openshift-tests-private-release-5.0__amd64-nightly.yaml

Each file has approximately 170 lines removed corresponding to the n-minor version-skew test variants (both -mgmt and -guest configurations across multiple F-series variants).

Rationale

These version-skew tests are being removed because equivalent testing coverage for version compatibility already exists in the openshift/hypershift repository, making these tests redundant in the openshift-tests-private configuration.

Walkthrough

Three OpenShift CI test manifests (releases 4.21, 4.22, and 5.0) are updated by removing deprecated hypershift OVN test jobs (aws-ipi-ovn-hypershift-n{1,2,3}minor variants) and adding new test job entries (aws-ipi-ovn-hypershift-shared-vpc-guest/mgmt, aws-ipi-ovn-ipsec, aws-ipi-ovn-winc).

Summary

Hypershift test job replacement across release manifests ci-operator/config/openshift/openshift-tests-private/openshift-openshift-tests-private-release-4.21__amd64-nightly.yaml, ci-operator/config/openshift/openshift-tests-private/openshift-openshift-tests-private-release-4.22__amd64-nightly.yaml, ci-operator/config/openshift/openshift-tests-private/openshift-openshift-tests-private-release-5.0__amd64-nightly.yaml

Remove aws-ipi-ovn-hypershift-n{1,2,3}minor-{mgmt,guest} test job entries across F14/F28 variants for releases 4.21, 4.22, and 5.0. Add new aws-ipi-ovn-hypershift-shared-vpc-{guest,mgmt}, aws-ipi-ovn-ipsec, and aws-ipi-ovn-winc test job entries to replace them.
