We plan to add support once it is publicly available in Testing Farm.

@thrix Please let as know when image mode will be available in testing-farm. The reference to API would be welcome.

Hi @jamacku @phracek , I am one of the early adopters of image mode testing, and from the mail I got they said the image mode is ready in testing-farm and tmt now, but I still need tfaga to run my CI.
May I know when I can expect this feature in tfaga? that will be very helpful, thanks.

@yih-redhat From what I see, there is only an initial MVP. Support should be available in the next release, and then we can add support.

Testing Farm announced image mode, which is now officially available for RHEL-9.6.0, Fedora-40, and CentOS-Stream 9.

From what I saw, Testing Farm GHA should support it out of the box. There are no changes needed from our side. Just pick image mode compose and architecture.

If you find any issues, please let us know.
