PowerKVM

= Overview = This is the IBM KVM on Power CI status page.

The KVM on Power CI performs tests using Ubuntu Xenial single use VMs. The VMs are spun up on OpenStack cloud, currently Mitaka release. CirrOS image with kernel >= 4.8.0-22 had to be built to support second level KVM acceleration on ppc64le (see bug).

Logs are uploaded to IBM Softlayer's Swift container and expire in 1 month. The test jobs are using devstack-gate to setup devstack and run the Tempest test suite.

Checks for Ironic project utilize bare metal hardware (ppc64le architecture).

= Current Status =
 * nova, cinder, devstack, os-brick, diskimage-builder reporting ENABLED, voting only on success due to instability
 * ironic reporting ENABLED

= Projects Tested = Current test status for all tested projects can be seen at Zuul Testing Report.

The report is compiled form zuul logs and is updated periodically. It might include aborted or otherwise terminated builds.
