Hello Felix!
Well we've had internally a plan for this, and a budget that we could consume.
But the person who wanted to volunteer lost interest.
And thinking about it twice we haven't got a geeko foundation ;-)

Hello Lubos,
regarding the testing, is there an update regarding the availability of PublicCloud resources?
We would need to spin up VMs so that we can test the images and all of those actions require a credit card. I remember this was the blocker of previous attempts to establish test coverage.
Do we have an update on this one? Would Microsoft provide a limited yet existing amount of resources we could use?
Best, phoenix

Hello openSUSE
There is an amazing opportunity for contribution!
Microsoft recently approached us about their community gallery and whether we'd be interested in it. See e.g. https://fedoramagazine.org/launch-fedora-40-in-microsoft-azure/
Aside from Azure, I suppose other Cloud providers might have something similar.
To wrap it up Leap and SLES, SL-Micro are already handled by our Public Cloud team.
But we are still left with Leap Micro, MicroOS, and Tumbleweed for which the PC team does not have the capacity and would make great candidates e.g. the Azure Community Gallery.
I understand that other cloud providers might have something similar.
As of now, we don't have any openSUSE Public Cloud testing (also not for Leap), nor automation for publishing images outside of the PC team scope. There was a spark of hope that we could have a smoke-testing in the past but we did not manage to finalize it. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/106452
I can imagine that some of the work could be automated to cope with TW/MicroOS release cadency :-) Leap Micro PC images would be released once per 6 months.
You see that there is a whole palette of work related to openSUSE in public clouds that's waiting to be picked up :-)
Would there be anybody (ideally a small team of people) interested in covering the remaining work in Public Clouds that's not covered by the SUSE's Public Cloud team? There is plenty of space for realization. We have pretty much 0 to start with.
Thank you very much in advance
