Document BMO e2e on real hardware #365

Open lentzi90 opened 7 months ago

lentzi90 commented 7 months ago

The BMO e2e tests have been designed to work also on real hardware. We should check that it actually works, and document how to do it. I think this could fit well in the user-guide, targeted at contributors, but perhaps also as a way for users to check that BMO works with their hardware. A conformance test if you like.

From a high perspective, the process should look something like this:

  1. Write kustomize overlays for Ironic and BMO (or deploy them manually). The e2e overlays we use in CI gives an example for how this could look like. See this and this.
  2. Set up a Kubernetes cluster (e.g. using kind or minikube). The test framework can do this automatically, but it is likely that some special configuration is needed, in which case it is better to do it manually.
  3. Write config file to adapt the e2e suite to the specific environment.
  4. Run the tests!
