Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 365b2

This change only adjusts the performance test schedule configuration, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

OpenShift ci-operator configuration cron always_run presubmit periodic job semantics

💡 Result:

In the OpenShift ci-operator framework, job semantics are primarily governed by how tests are defined in the configuration file and subsequently generated as Prow jobs [1][2]. Presubmit Jobs By default, any entry in the tests stanza of a ci-operator configuration is treated as a presubmit job [3]. These jobs execute before code is merged into the repository to provide feedback on pull requests and gate merges [4][3]. They are triggered automatically when a pull request is opened or updated, unless specific configuration fields override this behavior [4][3]. always_run The always_run field controls whether a presubmit job triggers automatically for every pull request [1][3]. - It defaults to true, meaning the job runs on every PR [4][3]. - Setting always_run: false disables this automatic triggering [4][3]. - Note that always_run: true is mutually exclusive with run_if_changed and skip_if_only_changed [4][3]. - When always_run is false and no other conditional triggers are set, the job becomes manual, requiring a user to trigger it via a comment (e.g., /test) [5][3]. Periodic Jobs Periodic jobs validate the health of the source code on a schedule rather than in response to code changes [4][3]. To configure a test as a periodic job, you must include the cron field (a cron-formatted string) in the test configuration [4][3]. - If a test has a cron field, it is scheduled to run periodically [4][3]. - You can also set presubmit: true if you want the same test to be executed as a presubmit job alongside its periodic schedule [4][3]. Summary of Key Fields - always_run: Controls automatic trigger on PRs (default: true) [4][3]. - run_if_changed / skip_if_only_changed: Define conditional triggers based on file paths; these are mutually exclusive with always_run: true [4][3]. - cron: Triggers the job on a fixed schedule (defines a periodic job) [4][3]. - presubmit: When set to true in a periodic job, ensures the job also runs on PRs [4][3]. Configuration is centralized in the openshift/release repository, where ci-operator configurations are used to generate the corresponding Prow job definitions [1][2]. Direct modification of Prow job YAML is discouraged, as these should be maintained via the ci-operator configuration [1].

Preserve the periodic job type when disabling scheduled runs.

Removing cron removes the 5.1 periodic jobs and generates both tests only as manual always_run: false presubmits, available through /test. If the intent is only to stop automatic periodic runs, keep cron with a parked schedule. Run make update after the change.

[REHEARSALNOTIFIER]
@mcornea: no rehearsable tests are affected by this change

Note: If this PR includes changes to step registry files (ci-operator/step-registry/) and you expected jobs to be found, try rebasing your PR onto the base branch. This helps pj-rehearse accurately detect changes when the base branch has moved forward.
The following jobs are not rehearsable without the network-access-rehearsals-ok, and approved labels present on this PR. This is due to the restrict_network_access field being set to false. The network-access-rehearsals-ok label can be added by any openshift org member other than the PR's author by commenting: /pj-rehearse network-access-allowed:

Test name
pull-ci-openshift-eng-ocp-perfscale-main-metal-5.1-nightly-x86-daily-virt-6nodes
pull-ci-openshift-eng-ocp-perfscale-main-metal-5.1-nightly-x86-network-workloads

Comment: /pj-rehearse to run up to 5 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse skip to opt-out of rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse {test-name}, with each test separated by a space, to run one or more specific rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse more to run up to 10 rehearsals

Comment: /pj-rehearse auto-ack to run up to 5 rehearsals, and add the rehearsals-ack label on success
Comment: /pj-rehearse list to get an up-to-date list of affected jobs
Comment: /pj-rehearse abort to abort all active rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse network-access-allowed to allow rehearsals of tests that have the restrict_network_access field set to false. This must be executed by an openshift org member who is not the PR author

Once you are satisfied with the results of the rehearsals, comment: /pj-rehearse ack to unblock merge. When the rehearsals-ack label is present on your PR, merge will no longer be blocked by rehearsals.
If you would like the rehearsals-ack label removed, comment: /pj-rehearse reject to re-block merging.
