Run Tekton tests and builds for other architectures #495

Open barthy1 opened 4 years ago

barthy1 commented 4 years ago

At this moment tests and releases for Tekton parts (pipeline, triggers, dashboard, operator) are available only for amd64. Other architectures (s390x, ppc64le, arm64) usually require to run the tests and builds on the native hardware. Suggestion is to add to Tekton CI/CD system the ways to run the tests and builds on corresponding native hardware. My team (from IBM Z) can help with hardware, setup and run for s390x. Similar approach as we suggest will work for ppc64le (IBM Power). First step can be to setup nightly builds for s390x on dogfooding server. The steps:

Next steps can be to have multi-arch images released; run s390x tests after each PR with Prow.

Hey @barthy1 ! This sounds really promising - any chance you'd be able to attend a future productivity working group meeting (https://github.com/tektoncd/community/blob/master/working-groups.md#productivity) to discuss further? and/or we can schedule a meeting in a timezone that works for you instead.

but I'm sure the TL;DR is that we'd be really excited to add tests on more architectures :D i think in addition to the hardware itself, we'd want to work out some details on when to run the tests (e.g. maybe nightly instead of on every PR), how to surface failures (the build cop currently looks at the dashboard, we might need another view as we add more periodic jobs), and how to deal with failures

Hi @bobcatfish ! I'd be glad to visit next productivity working group meeting, however this Thursday I have already plans for 1pm EST :( Any chance for another time? (sorry)

Yep, sure, we need to discuss all these things. Goal from our side to provide evidence for community that Tekton can be running on Z( and Power), and how we can to do that - here we need experts input :) I have already some steps in mind (and even working on local POC), but I really need your opinion and "best path" here.

Hey @barthy1 ! No problem at all - we discussed this briefly at today's WG meeting (there should be a recording up soon) and I think @afrittoli will be reaching out to you soon. Also I've created a survey (https://forms.gle/3A7LG69Lct48fHKfA) to gauge interest in having an alternate time for the working group.
