This short report brings to light some interesting commits to [scylla-cluster-tests.git master](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests) from the last 3 weeks. Commits in the bc58a9a1…5e46b04f range are covered. There were 57 non-merge commits from 13 authors in that period. Some notable commits: Monitoring was updated [to version 4.8.0](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/aa8930a45ec577d522b52f1f9e459c8d57fd178f). The SCT runner image (and SCT Jenkins builders) received [an update to version 1.8](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/f19217c5f169c46bb3e981431aa6cf4dd185e083), which includes an OS upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04, Java updated to version 21, and stronger SSH keys. Nosqlbench was updated to version 5.21.2 and configured to [use the Java 4.x Scylla driver](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/ae5faa869f4ea0b9793aa9cb00f245f98a60e1a1) to facilitate testing with the Java v4.x driver, as no other tool currently supports it. Several fixes and [documentation updates](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/5cf6b2480ea33a33b93f3d279047eabdad5b5d89) were made regarding resource cleanup and SCT local setup. With the migration of cassandra-stress from scylla-tools-java to a new repository, a new Docker image and DockerHub release have been created. [The new image](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/de65b59f9b83d771804d9ca44e326e08f8bed518) is now used instead of Scylla’s older Docker images, currently at [version 3.13.0](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/ab5194fbbff3826ea2043864799ce424fd251a91). An issue with `reuse-cluster` was fixed, addressing [leftover autossh hook containers](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/d4ddf76c64a819ffaee04382611a79fefc7772e7) that were blocking syslogng initialization. These are now properly cleaned up. Additionally, reusing clusters from the [k8s-local-kind backend](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/066dd0231cd80ccb29e9d503c4f22cc6221a912a) has been fixed. A new AWS ASG was introduced for testing Docker artifacts on [FIPS machines](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/9d1f5b6be205cb642b3c59c3dbcf114d460b2059), using a specific SCT runner and Jenkins labels, separate from the regular ones. Latte [was upgraded to version ‘0.26.3-scylladb’](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/d43176b984ec4331e8fa5234a778d835d4d2675f), incorporating the newer Scylla-Rust driver ‘v0.13.2’ and compiled with Rust ‘1.79’. This update includes a necessary bug fix for customer-oriented tests. In addition to linking GitHub issues to specific reactor\_stall errors in SCT events, the severity of these errors is now [adjusted based on the linked issue status](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/5e5ddba758b6db7678161f24ef1e06014243e8fe). If an issue is resolved but not labeled with `sct--skip` (indicating the fix was not backported), the severity is increased to Error. A follow-up script was added to [migrate latency decorator results to Argus](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/36c097c6e54213d5c6905060e2aed3edfbf4c97e) to maintain historical data for graphing purposes. We introduced a method [to inject specific `SCT_*` environment variables](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/5a6c5f555c57b175ffc437ce5f4cd5c891da6742) into Jenkins jobs using the `extra_environment_variables` parameter, allowing configuration via environment variables without needing to create a pipeline parameter for each one. Perf-simple-query performance results [are now sent to Argus](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/dcd890ab951e8d173d6d63169ad5b1d8b974ae76). We reworked and introduced several Scylla Manager tests, including [no-delta backup](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/07d228c3f08ac8c34669016927a3596f04fc8636), [restoring from a pre-created backup](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/48375f8d8b0f41ba483cca9c429503ceea5b625a), and added new test parameters and [job improvements](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/5e46b04f7dda1b9e5fd446487192ce47658cd688). See you in the next issue of last week in scylla-cluster-tests.git master!
