The KataConfig readiness wait (InProgress=False) was hardcoded to 7200s
(2h), the same value as the step's own timeout. Since ~95 min of catalog,
operator and MachineConfigPool waits run before it, the kataconfig wait was
always preempted long before completing, and even a healthy peer-pods run
(~3.2h of total waits) could exceed the 2h step cap.

Expose the kataconfig wait via KATACONFIG_WAIT_TIMEOUT (default 7200) so it
can be lowered to fail fast when debugging a known failure, and raise the
step timeout to 4h so the default sum of all internal waits can actually
complete.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Makes the KataConfig readiness wait configurable with KATACONFIG_WAIT_TIMEOUT, defaulting to 7200 seconds.
  • Extends the sandboxed-containers operator step timeout from 2 hours to 4 hours.
  • Adds temporary AWS IPI peer-pods debug settings for 4.22, including a 300-second KataConfig timeout, 6-hour sleep, restricted network access, and disabled Kata RPM installation.

Walkthrough

The OSC install step now uses a configurable KataConfig readiness timeout and has a four-hour overall timeout. The aws-ipi-peerpods job sets a 300-second readiness timeout, restricts network access, disables Kata RPM installation, and increases its sleep duration.

Changes

OSC installation timeout

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configurable readiness timeout
ci-operator/step-registry/sandboxed-containers-operator/install-osc-operator/*
The step timeout increases to four hours. KATACONFIG_WAIT_TIMEOUT defaults to 7200 seconds and controls KataConfig readiness waits and messages. The documentation describes the timeout components and override behavior.
Peerpods job settings
ci-operator/config/openshift/sandboxed-containers-operator/*
The aws-ipi-peerpods job enables restricted network access, disables Kata RPM installation, sets KATACONFIG_WAIT_TIMEOUT to 300, and changes SLEEP_DURATION to 6h.

Remove the debug-only five-minute timeout.

The aws-ipi-peerpods target sets KATACONFIG_WAIT_TIMEOUT to "300". The install step uses this value for KataConfig readiness. Peer-pods readiness averages about 97 minutes, so a normal run can fail before readiness completes. The override was introduced for KataConfig debugging. Remove it so the step uses the 7200-second default.

…2 for kataconfig debugging

Temporary, debug-only changes to hunt the peer-pods regression where the
KataConfig never reaches InProgress=False. Revert before merge.

- KATACONFIG_WAIT_TIMEOUT=300 so the run fails in ~5 min instead of 2h.
- SLEEP_DURATION=6h so the post-phase cucushift-installer-wait holds the
  cluster open for interactive debugging after the failure.
- restrict_network_access=true.
