These are RHEL 8 based tests:

• Almalinux 8
• Rocky Linux 8
• Amazon linux 2 (RHEL 7)

Our openSUSE version is 15.5, which is pre-installed with Python 3.6. However, openSUSE 15.5 was EOL 1 month so that we can deprecate this test. (EDIT: No, our openSUSE version is 15.3. 😂)

But I don't know why the packet_ubuntu22-calico-all-in-one-upgrade failed. That's weird.

MSG:
Ansible must be between 2.16.4 and 2.17.0 exclusive - you have 2.17.8

@VannTen It looks like the upgrade works back to the previous version (v2.27.0) ansible_version check (2.16.4 <= Ansible version < 2.17.0), which causes playbooks/ansible_version.yml to fail. Do you have an idea to resolve this?

[VannTen]

Hum, I think this just means our CI is somewhat broken. We should do a pip install before running kubespray (so twice in the upgrade job), but we do it in the docker image instead. Now that we have caching though we should be able to pip install on each job without too much trouble 🤔.

@VannTen Do you have any idea how to go about modifying it?

Some but I have little bandwidth next week and I need to rebase the auto update PRs
