Last week in scylla-cluster-tests.git master (issue #121; 2026-01-16)

This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylla-cluster-tests.git master from the last week. Commits in the 2e1554f7…5063a93a range are covered.

There were 33 non-merge commits from 9 authors in that period. Some notable commits:

Argus was updated to version 0.15.10 fixing freezing on Azure backend.

Cassandra-stress now supports Java 4.x driver through the new c_s_driver parameter. The tool was updated to version 3.20.0, and users can now select between 3.x, 4.x, or random driver selection. The 4.x driver though it’s not yet the default due to issues that will be fixed in the next cassandra-stress release.

Repair mechanisms were unified into a single approach. Now all repairs go through run_repair , which always performs cluster-scoped repairs.

Initial Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) support was introduced, including SDK utilities, credential management, and an OciRegion helper class for managing VCN, subnets, and security lists. The implementation provides full SCT runner provisioning.

A comprehensive billing project tagging system was implemented to enable better cost tracking across AWS, GCE, and Azure. The system automatically determines project identifiers. This project identifier is now applied consistently to both billing_project configuration parameters and cloud resource tags.

See you in the next issue of last week in scylla-cluster-tests.git master!
