Speed up preflight container certification for large telco workloads by leveraging Ansible parallelization

September 27, 2024
By Andrew Vu, Tatiana Krishtop, PhD, Ying Wang
The certification of preflight for containers can be time-intensive, especially when testing at scale. This blog explores how leveraging Ansible's asynchronous processing and parallel execution can optimize Red Hat's certification workflows. By integrating these features into Distributed-CI (DCI), tasks such as CVE scanning, testing, and report submission can be executed in parallel, reducing certification times by up to 74% when tested with 20 container images. We provide insights into implementing these enhancements for efficient, large-scale CNF testing, aligning with Kubernetes best practices.
