Description
When test fails due to core dump, teuthology collects it and archives, making it available through, for example, pulpito.
Those core dumps can get quite huge (679MB for example), and in many cases they can be compressed with relatively fast compressors (like gzip) quite well. In my case, such 679MB core dump was compressed to 21MB .gz file.
My proposal is to add core file compression to teuthology, like it is done for logs.
