Testing Farm Red Hat ranch testing paused - large queue

Outage | 2026-10-19 14:53:00 UTC

Unfortunately GitLab today introduced new rate limiting affecting some parts of Testing Farm. Until we workaround the issue we paused testing to mitigate high error rate, which is already at 20% now. Next update in an hour. This already affected some of the requests - instead of Testing Farm results viewer you are presented with a directory listing, or jobs erroring out on Ansible errors during guest setup related to downloading of our standalone python bundle hosted on GitLab.

Update | 2026-10-19 18:29:00 UTC

Patches are applied, we are preparing to unblock the queue
