AOB (Any other Business):

Discussed the need to complete RI documentation by Jan F2F
Also, discussed the need to complete the "Run Book" by Jan F2F - which will be Ch 7 of the RI documentation
Bare metal validations (manifest checks w/ h/w or lab delivery) → needs to be added to the Run Book
- Gap? Pre-existing process/validations? → there are post software deployment validations, but no validations to date to confirm the bare metal delivered is ready for s/w deployments
- This will be included as a pre-req in the RI Ch07 documentation
POD10 deployment - complete?
- POD10 software is deployed
- However.. the AirShip deployment installer and manifests were (are) specific to POD17
- There is AirShip project discussions underway to make the installer generic so it can be used across any POD; for now, it's been manually configured for POD10
- ETA is ~11/17-11/20 for the automated deployment change can be done and tested, and possibly implemente
Functest API test - status? green light?
- Cedric received the green light today to run Functest, less the CICD scripts to perform the deployment
- The deployment+validation steps will not be run until the AirShip generic installer parameters have been created and tested
- ETA for Functest readout is by EOW (11/8)
