Description

Right now, we cannot run functional tests for replication because we don't have a pipeline job running with multiple instances of Pulp.
In pulp-operator project we have a workflow to test multiple installations of Pulp (actually we are deploying only 2 because of the limited resources):
https://github.com/pulp/pulp-operator/actions/runs/9410984818/job/25923537636#logs
We could investigate if it is worth reusing the current pulp-operator pipeline in pulp_container to run tests that would need multiple running Pulps.

Things to consider:

  • the current pulp-operator pipeline (which are only installing 2 instances of Pulp) is taking 10 minutes to run
  • this new pipeline would need a new step to rebuild the image to test the PR changes and update the operator to run with this new image
  • we don't know if GH runners will have enough resources (CPU/memory/disk) to handle the k8s cluster + pulp-operator + 2xPulp + replication workload

Research direction

Review the pulp-operator multi-installation workflow linked in the issue and the existing pulp-container CI configuration. Check whether the workflow can rebuild the PR image, update the operator, and run replication tests with two Pulp instances within GitHub runner resources. Done means a documented feasibility decision covering runtime and resource constraints, plus the CI changes needed if viable.
