TRT-2926: Revert #83996 "gcp: migrate N2 instance types to N4" - #84065
Conversation
…to N4 instance types (openshift#83996)" This reverts commit f3c3257. PR openshift#83996 switched GCP compute node instance types from N2 to N4 across the CI step-registry and templates. The N4 instance types broke 5.0 nightly payloads, so revert to the previous N2 configuration to restore payload health.

Restore the N2 compute machine type in all verification jobs.
All seven changed values remain in the N4 family. Reducing the size from n4-standard-4 to n4-standard-2 does not resolve the pd-standard incompatibility. Monitoring PVC attachment and installation can still fail.

Google Cloud Compute Engine persistent disk SSD unsupported machine types C4 N4 H4 X4 M4 A4 G4 hyperdisk-balanced
💡 Result:
For the latest generation Google Cloud Compute Engine machine series, including C4, N4, H4, X4, M4, A4, and G4, standard Persistent Disk (pd-standard) and SSD Persistent Disk (pd-ssd) are generally not supported as they have been superseded by Hyperdisk block storage technology [1][2][3]. Google Cloud documentation explicitly indicates that these modern machine families are designed to utilize Hyperdisk for durable block storage [1][3]. Specifically, these series typically require the use of Hyperdisk Balanced or other Hyperdisk variants [1][4][5]. Attempts to provision these machine types with legacy persistent disk types (pd-standard or pd-ssd) will result in configuration errors [4]. Key details regarding storage for these machine series include: - Hyperdisk Requirement: Hyperdisk is the primary durable block storage offering for these latest machine series [1][3]. - Unsupported Legacy Disks: Legacy Persistent Disk types, such as pd-standard and pd-ssd, are largely incompatible with these series [2]. For example, official support matrices show that SSD PD and Balanced PD are listed as unsupported (marked with a dash) for families such as C4, N4, H4, X4, M4, A4, and G4 [2]. - Hyperdisk Balanced: This is the recommended block storage solution for the majority of workloads on these machine types, offering configurable capacity, throughput, and IOPS [5][6][3]. For the most accurate and current information on specific disk support for a given machine type, refer to the official Google Cloud documentation on disk type compatibility [2][6].

Preserve Hyperdisk selection for affected machine types.
create_cluster_machines applies --boot-disk-type=pd-ssd to both control-plane and worker node_type values. C4, N4, H4D, X4, M4, A4, and G4 machine types do not support pd-ssd and require hyperdisk-balanced, so instance creation can fail. Restore machine-family-specific disk selection.

Forward migration (step 2) following the revert in openshift#84065. GCP N2 quota is very constrained, so move to N4 wherever the platform supports it. GCP N4 requires hyperdisk-balanced disks and is only usable from OCP 4.17 onward (the floor for N4 + hyperdisk-balanced + ClusterCSIDriver storageClassState support). openshift-upgrade-gcp-ovn-rt and openshift-e2e-gcp-realtime: - Workflow default moves to n4-standard-8 + COMPUTE_DISK_TYPE=hyperdisk-balanced, adding ipi-conf-gcp-osdisk-disktype (node OS disk) and storage-conf-storageclass-pre-set-default-gcp-hyperdisk (default StorageClass for dynamically provisioned PVCs, e.g. monitoring) before install, matching the openshift-e2e-gcp-csi-custom-worker convention. - New N2 variant workflows (…-n2) preserve the previous n2 + Persistent Disk behaviour for upgrade/e2e jobs whose (initial) release is <= 4.16, which predate N4/hyperdisk. - Consumers whose installed/initial release is <= 4.16 are repointed to the -n2 variants; consumers >= 4.17 inherit N4 from the default workflow (realtime >= 4.17 drop their redundant n2 override). Only public openshift/* configs are edited here; openshift-priv mirrors are left to private-org-sync. bastion (gcp-provision-bastionhost): default machine type n2-standard-2 -> n4-standard-2 (family-only swap, same size). It is a standalone proxy VM, not tied to an OCP release. N4 only supports hyperdisk-balanced boot disks, so the create command now passes --boot-disk-type=hyperdisk-balanced for the N4 family while leaving other families (e.g. the c3-standard-4 override) on their previous GCE default. single-node and UPI GCP are intentionally excluded (mostly <= 4.16, need separate release-gating/monitoring work) and will follow. Depends on openshift#84065 (revert) merging first. Assisted-By: Claude Opus 4.8
Forward migration (step 1) following the revert in openshift#84065. GCP N2 quota is very constrained, so move to N4 where the platform supports it. The openshift-e2e-gcp-ovn-rt workflow is a clean target: all of its consumers (e2e-gcp-ovn-rt-rhcos10-techpreview in nightly 4.22/4.23/5.0/5.1) run on releases >= 4.17, which is the floor for GCP N4 + hyperdisk-balanced support. N4 only supports hyperdisk-balanced disks (not pd-*), so this: - sets COMPUTE_NODE_TYPE=n4-standard-8 and COMPUTE_DISK_TYPE=hyperdisk-balanced on the workflow; - adds ipi-conf-gcp-osdisk-disktype (node OS disk) and storage-conf-storageclass-pre-set-default-gcp-hyperdisk (default StorageClass for dynamically provisioned PVCs, e.g. monitoring) before install, matching the openshift-e2e-gcp-csi-custom-worker convention; - drops the now-redundant COMPUTE_NODE_TYPE: n2-standard-8 override from the four consumers so node and disk type stay a single source of truth in the workflow. Depends on openshift#84065 (revert) merging first. Assisted-By: Claude Opus 4.8
Forward migration (step 2) following the revert in openshift#84065. GCP N2 quota is very constrained, so move to N4 wherever the platform supports it. GCP N4 requires hyperdisk-balanced disks and is only usable from OCP 4.17 onward (the floor for N4 + hyperdisk-balanced + ClusterCSIDriver storageClassState support). N4 also cannot run nested virtualization, so nested-virt jobs stay on N2 (untouched here). Rather than adding N2 variant workflows, the shared hyperdisk StorageClass step is made opt-out-able so a single workflow serves both N4 (>= 4.17) and N2 (<= 4.16) consumers: - storage-conf-storageclass-pre-set-default-gcp-hyperdisk: add SET_DEFAULT_HYPERDISK_STORAGECLASS (default "true"), gating creation of the hyperdisk-balanced default StorageClass + ClusterCSIDriver override. Default preserves existing behaviour for all current users (CRC/CSI, c3-metal, QE nightlies), which do not set it. - openshift-upgrade-gcp-ovn-rt and openshift-e2e-gcp-realtime: default to n4-standard-8 + COMPUTE_DISK_TYPE=hyperdisk-balanced and run ipi-conf-gcp-osdisk-disktype + the (now conditional) hyperdisk StorageClass step before install, matching the openshift-e2e-gcp-csi-custom-worker convention. - Consumers whose installed/initial release is <= 4.16 opt back to N2 in place (same workflow) via COMPUTE_NODE_TYPE=n2-standard-8, COMPUTE_DISK_TYPE="" (disables the osdisk step), and SET_DEFAULT_HYPERDISK_STORAGECLASS="false". Consumers >= 4.17 inherit N4 (realtime >= 4.17 drop their now-redundant n2 override). Only public openshift/* configs are edited; the openshift-priv mirrors are regenerated from them by ci-operator-config-mirror. bastion (gcp-provision-bastionhost): default machine type n2-standard-2 -> n4-standard-2 (family-only swap). It is a standalone proxy VM; N4 only supports hyperdisk-balanced boot disks, so the create command appends --boot-disk-type=hyperdisk-balanced for the N4 family while leaving other families (e.g. the c3-standard-4 override) on their previous GCE default. single-node and UPI GCP are intentionally excluded (mostly <= 4.16, need separate release-gating/monitoring work) and will follow. Note: the shared storage step change requires storage-team review. Assisted-By: Claude Opus 4.8
