I think you can with qemu, but only VM's that are super lightweight (like cirros) heavier things like OpenStack itself will be prohibitively slow. > There are some other aspects of Ironic (IPMI, SOL access, any > vendor-specific drivers) which we'll need real hardware to test because they > can't effectively be virtualized.

We can cover that two ways - post deploy feedback, and using machines to run tests against during gating. The latter is clearly better, but we'll need a broader set of small machines to do that (we currently have a set of big machines, which are fantastic for divide and conquer workloads, but not for anything that needs a full machine. -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcoll...@hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
