Which tests are failing ?

Reason for failure

The CI may be broken because the docker-machine metal uses the API "factory"; it's deprecated. The error logs from the docker-machine:

Anything else we need to know

Related to #10505

The Docker Machine is too old. There are two solutions:

1. update the docker-machine metal driver to make the test run correctly.
2. migrate the test to Kubevirt is more reasonable than fixing it.

I'd like to help on this issue. Is there any other options?

The molecule ecosystem is not better than before. I was one of active maintainer of molecule and molecule-plugins. But it seems Ansible business team make decision without caring about the community, which makes active contributers from community not happy.
