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 week. Commits in the 3418fb9c…50020224 range are covered.

There were 24 non-merge commits from 10 authors in that period. Some notable commits:

There’s a new Scylla Manager installation [test on the Rocky9 distribution](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/3c880d356e617d2de7b7ecaa53ab4d00c7061fd1).

Download, load&stream bandwidth metrics [for Scylla Manager restore tests](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/a057ff23d7ddfa71c75ad229ade6e80c38079682) are now sent to Argus, enhancing the informativeness of restore benchmark graphs.

The default Scylla Manager [version was updated to 3.4](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/9e667949a207fafb7d15bad38d1c4a791cf6ea57).

Instance provisioning `fallback to on demand` [is now enabled by default in the AWS backend](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/8db93b0ce09fe760096ad8aedc827c026540e010), ensuring SCT retries with on-demand instances when spot instance creation fails.

The [Latte tool version was bumped to 0.28.1-scylladb](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/310e24aa7ff37eb2c7e76aad7a259a49ad4eef2a), allowing “batch” query testing.

A new [predefined throughput steps with tablets test pipeline](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/0b727010f4f1bf3a797f2fb8ef4b3044a3835b9d) was added and scheduled for weekly runs. This test verifies latencies across different throughput steps and the maximum throughput Scylla can achieve. Additionally, write workload test was [improved by running c-s directly in the loader OS instead of Docker](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/0109b30f0e0595889c6746a2b3466ee62763282c), enhancing stability.

The [mgmt\_cli\_test.py module](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/c9c9bffc0b1f74f919c2bd86ac1c9d5bea37395d) was refactored to improve organization, naming, and test reusability for Scylla Manager.

Dependabot will now track [Docker-based loaders](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cluster-tests/commit/50020224662a89759386ce03310af152e30c5eaa). This required updates to configuration files but will not impact their usage in tests.

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