How does Tenks relate to OVB?
https://openstack-virtual-baremetal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html
Good question. As far as I'm aware, OVB is a tool for using an OpenStack
cloud to host the virtual bare metal nodes, and is typically used for
testing TripleO. Tenks does not rule out supporting this use case in
future, but currently operates more like the Ironic devstack plugin,
using libvirt/KVM/QEMU as the virtualisation provider.
Yeah, sounds like this is more a replacement for the kvm virtual
environment setup in tripleo-quickstart. I'm adding the tripleo tag for
their attention.
