Hi All, While reading this again, following question popped out. If the proposed IaaS is to easily test the basic flow of Stratos core components (IaaS independent tasks) this would certainly worth to have, but if the intention is to test IaaS specific stuff (eg: attaching volumes, handling multiple networks) can we come to any conclusion after testing with this mock IaaS?
