I'm working on a devstack-plugin that will allow us to do these things. Right now it's Ubuntu specific but nothing that'll stop F23 once that's working in nodepool.

We'll almost certainly need to be able to test QEMU 2.6 in the N release cycle, since that'll (hopefully) include support for TLS encrypted migration & nbd traffic. So I don't think waiting for LTS releases is a viable strategy in general - we'll need UCA to be available for at least some set of jobs we run. Alternatively stick with LTS release for Ubuntu, and run other jobs with Fedora and the virt-preview repository to give us coverage of the cutting edge QEMU/libvirt stack. > Alternatively, look into getting a live migration job running on > CentOS 7 or Fedora 23 if it can't wait until after Mitaka. CentOS 7 might be a nice target, since I think it'll likely have more reliable migration support at the QEMU level than any distros shipping close-to-upstream QEMU versions.

We can discuss it, but generally by the time people start actively wanting newer whatever we're only a few months away from the next LTS anyway. In this case I have hopes that in a few months we'll be able to start running jobs on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, which looks like it's going to ship with QEMU 2.5.

[openstack-dev] [nova][infra] Ability to run newer QEMU in Gate jobs
Heya, Currently the live migration test job[1] is using relatively old version of QEMU (2.0 -- 2 years old, 17-APR-2014). And, libvirt 1.2.2 (released on 02-MAR-2014). For libvirt, I realize there's an in-progress thread[2] to get to a state to run a bleeding edge libvirt. How can we go about bumping up QEMU to its newest stable release (2.5, DEC-2015)? Matt Riedemann tells me on IRC that multi-node live migration job is currently Ubuntu only, and to get a newer QEMU, it has to be added to Ubuntu Cloud Archive. It'd be useful to get that done. Who can help with it? It'll allow us to confirm our suspicion that a couple of Nova live migration bugs[3][4] are likely fixed with that version. Also it (the newer QEMU) has some additional debug logging capabilities which can help us with root cause analysis of some live migration issues.
