This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylla-cluster-tests.git master from the last week. Commits in the 759e8884…0fb082b3 range are covered.
There were 27 non-merge commits from 11 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
The Docker backend gained simulated_racks support, lifting the single-rack limitation that broke replication_factor>1 under rf_rack_valid_keyspaces enforcement.
A new plan to normalize config option types was added, covering all 85 StringOrList /IntOrList /BooleanOrList /DictOrStr parameters so validators always return canonical types and isinstance guards can be removed across consumers.
AWS support was extended with eu-west-3 and the supported-region list was consolidated into a single source of truth.
Latte was bumped to 0.44.0-scylladb, notable for adding an Alternator (DynamoDB API) backend and updating the embedded scylla-rust-driver to 1.6.
Cassandra-stress was updated to v3.20.6, bringing driver update (v3.11.5.14 and v4.19.0.8).
Performance pipelines were extended to accept a custom GCE Scylla image and Manager version for backup-and-restore development work.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylla-cluster-tests.git master!
