Let's run your cloud test on AWS EC2, VMWare ESXi, OpenStack here. kite-testbed is just a testbed and provides a test environment for you.

• kite-testbed depends on Github Actions as CI. All tests will be run in self-hosted runner.

• kite-testbed does not provide test code and deployment code. Test code kite-testbed used will be fetched from kite-test repository. Deploying VM/Instance/Guest on cloud platform with kite-deploy.

• kite-testbed workflow:

  • listening Pull Request
  • checkout kite-test repository
  • checkout kite-deploy repository
  • run deployment code
  • download and update application, like kernel
  • run test code

Currently, kite-testbed only supports kernel test. To run a kernel test, what you need to do is sending a Pull Request and put your kernel download URL into kernel/rhel-8. kite-testbed will finish the rest of things for you.
