rcbops / rpc-gating

Unified Gating Repository

Welcome!

Repo Layout

• rpc_jobs: JJB Job definitions
• pipeline_steps: Groovy Functions for use in pipelines
• playbooks: Ansible Playbooks
• scripts: Bash and Python scripts

Git Hooks

Run githooks.sh to add the lint.sh script as a pre-commit hook. This will do a basic syntax check before each commit. Note that unavailable tools will be skipped so for this to be useful you need to have the following tools installed:

• groovy (apt/groovy2)
• jenkins-jobs (pip/jenkins-job-builder)
• ansible-playbook (pip/ansible)

Conventions

Naming

Files

• Use _ as the word delimiter
• All lowercase
• Examples:
  • jjb_setup.yml
  • pipeline_steps

Jobs

• Use - as the word delimiter
• Use _ between a job name and the job template variables
• Use standard capitalization rules, template variables can be an exception to this
• Examples:
  • RPC-AIO_{series}-{image}-{action}-{scenario}-{ztrigger}
  • RPC-AIO_master-xenial-deploy-swift-periodic
  • Merge-Trigger-JJB
  • {trigger}-Dep-Update_{repo_name}-{branch}

Required Properties

Retention Policy

Every Job must have a retention policy either based on days or number of builds.

Example job with number of builds retention policy:

  - job:
      properties:
        - build-discarder:
            num-to-keep: 30

Example job with number of days retention policy:

  - job:
      properties:
        - build-discarder:
            days-to-keep: 30

rpc-gating's Issues

Migrate all QE LEM lab automation to rpc-gating

QE needs to migrate all our lab automation code to rpc-gating to ensure that we use the same JJB code to deploy
