KernelCI - How Can It Impact Your Future?
summary
KernelCI moves from a monolith to a thin API+pipeline architecture that ingests git trees and Patchwork patches, schedules tests and submits results to KCB as the single source of truth. The new service runs tasks on LAVA/Kubernetes/Docker runtimes (and plain shell), supports bisections and a regression tracker, and prioritizes test quality over blasting every test everywhere. An Early Access instance is available since Sept 2023 and Patchwork integration is already upstreamed for real-world mail-list driven testing.
