Is your task related to a problem? Please describe

Since past week, I've seen E2E failures for OpenShift workflows on pull requests. All of them seem to fail in the setup phase:

Checking if image openshift/origin-control-plane:v3.11 is available ...

It's due to openshift/origin-control-plane image no longer present on Docker Hub anymore.

Describe the solution you'd like

We need to find out why this workflow started failing all of sudden and fix it.

It's more than that. That part is already fixed (manusa/actions-setup-openshift#41).

However, the newer images don't seem to be working either.

[rohanKanojia]

openshift/origin-control-plane images are back on Docker Hub. However, OpenShift 3.11.0 build is still failing.

openshift/origin-control-plane images are back on Docker Hub. However, OpenShift 3.11.0 build is still failing.

However, the newer images don't seem to be working either.

Only the proper 3.10 images have been restored in either Quay or Docker.

[stale]

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had any activity since 90 days. It will be closed if no further activity occurs within 7 days. Thank you for your contributions!

[manusa]

The issue should be considered now as complete.

We have now on-demand CI checks performed on an ephemeral OpenShift 3.10 cluster.
In addition, we've set up a CI pipeline that performs checks on a 4.x cluster provided by OSCI.io.
