platform-external: added e2e upgrade for pext-aws by redhat-chai-bot · Pull Request #80100 · openshift/release

redhat-chai-bot · 2026-06-04T14:49:43Z

Summary

Introduce periodic e2e upgrade workflows for platform type External on AWS, covering both regular (None) and CCM variants.

Changes

Adds 4 new periodic jobs (monthly) to validate OCP upgrades on platform-external AWS installations:

e2e-platform-external-aws-upgrade — regular variant (4.21→4.22 and 4.22→5.0)
e2e-platform-external-aws-ccm-upgrade — CCM variant (4.21→4.22 and 4.22→5.0)

These jobs reuse the existing openshift-e2e-external-aws workflow with TEST_TYPE=upgrade-conformance to perform cluster upgrades followed by conformance tests.

The CCM variant deploys a standalone aws-cloud-controller-manager during installation and validates that the cluster upgrades successfully with the CCM running outside CVO management.

All jobs report failures to #forum-ocp-splat-alerts-aws.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Added monthly upgrade test jobs for external AWS platform upgrades
- Configured monitoring and alerting infrastructure for new upgrade test jobs
- Added Cloud Controller Manager variant for external AWS upgrade testing

Hi @redhat-chai-bot. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Tip

We noticed you've done this a few times! Consider joining the org to skip this step and gain /lgtm and other bot rights. We recommend asking approvers on your previous PRs to sponsor you.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Walkthrough

This pull request adds two new upgrade test job definitions across two OpenShift release pipeline configurations. The changes introduce e2e-platform-external-aws-upgrade and e2e-platform-external-aws-ccm-upgrade periodic tests for the 4.22-to-4.21 and 5.0-to-4.22 upgrade paths, each configured with monthly scheduling, AWS cluster profiles, Slack-based failure reporting, and optional Cloud Credential Operator CCM enablement.

Changes

AWS Platform External Upgrade Test Configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Test definitions for AWS platform external upgrades `ci-operator/config/openshift/release/openshift-release-main__nightly-4.22-upgrade-from-stable-4.21.yaml`, `ci-operator/config/openshift/release/openshift-release-main__nightly-5.0-upgrade-from-stable-4.22.yaml`	Two periodic test entries (`e2e-platform-external-aws-upgrade` and `e2e-platform-external-aws-ccm-upgrade`) added to each release file with monthly cron scheduling, reporter configuration targeting `#forum-ocp-splat-alerts-aws`, `openshift-org-aws` cluster profile, and optional `PLATFORM_EXTERNAL_CCM_ENABLED` environment variable in the CCM variant.

The following review has been submited on Slack:

move 4.22 (upgrade from 4.21) to nightly periodic
add periodics (for those two jobs) on 5.0 upgrade from 4.22 for nightly builds too
remove 4.20 and 4.21 changes from PR https://github.com/openshift/release/pull/80100/changes
set all jobs to run monthly
preserve notifications
rename jobs to the new standard of platform external, replacing external to platform-external. eg e2e-external-aws-upgrade must be e2e-platform-external-aws-upgrade

Add monthly periodic upgrade jobs for platform external AWS (regular and CCM variants) to nightly 4.22 and 5.0 upgrade configs: - e2e-platform-external-aws-upgrade (4.21->4.22, 4.22->5.0) - e2e-platform-external-aws-ccm-upgrade (4.21->4.22, 4.22->5.0) Both jobs use the openshift-e2e-external-aws workflow with TEST_TYPE=upgrade-conformance, run monthly (0 0 1 * *), and report failures to #forum-ocp-splat-alerts-aws.
