ARM64 testing is of interest to a number of projects. For example:
https://review.opendev.org/662456 : kolla
https://review.opendev.org/676111 : diskimage-builder
https://review.opendev.org/690798 : system-config (mirror tests)
However, we have been hesitant to put these tests into the main check
queue because with only a small number of nodes available (8
currently) it may lead to long delays merging code.
While jobs could go in the on-demand experimental pipeline, this
doesn't quite reflect the status of the jobs and nodes which are
operational.
I think that a separate queue to allow these jobs to run
automatically, but asynchronously to the regular check queue is a good
option here. This will be a step to build a strong track-record for
the jobs without affecting the main gate, which should hopefully lead
to more interest and potentially more resources.
