Run BMO e2e with Kubevirt backed BareMetalHosts #1736

Open lentzi90 opened 1 month ago

User Story

As a developer I would like to use kubevirt as "backend" for the BareMetalHosts in the e2e tests since it would greatly simplify the setup and reduce the requirements.

Detailed Description

Kubevirt has accepted a proposal for BMC support. Once it is implemented, we could make use of kubevirt in our e2e tests (and for development with tilt etc.). To make this happen, we should help out with the implementation (see the implementation phases in the proposal). Related issue: https://github.com/starbops/kubebmc/issues/1

I'm for it, but here is a caveat: I don't know how many features they're going to implement. Sushy-tools also supports virtual media and firmware settings, for instance. There is a WIP effort to make it support (emulate, of course) firmware updates.

/triage accepted On the 2024.29.5 Community meeting we have agreed to accept this, but let's first implement the Kube-Virt support for IPMI and let's see how that behaves.
