What hypervisor/emulator will it use? What are the requirements of the host OS and host hardware? Why is the config you have it set to so important that you mention it in your email - will the config be locked down into that config or can it be reconfigured later? How is the VM controlled from the host OS? Keep in mind that a GUI cannot be the only option for automated tests. FWIW, Impala's test suite probably cannot fully complete without at least 8, and I suspect 16, GB of RAM, and we might need more disk space, too, but these should be reconfigurable with most hypervisors/emulators.
