How does Tenks relate to OVB?<br>

<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">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.</div>

<p>I'm presuming, as Tenks is supposed to support multiple
hypervisors, that a multi-arch environment would be supported
(different node types on different architectures). Or does this
even enter into the consideration?<br></p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I think that would be a good feature to consider in future, although it's not something that works currently.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think it would be a very important thing to have as we branch out into different architectures. I would personally love to see an ARM64 CI job. To actually put that job in place would mean major changes to VM creation which would be beneficial to put in one place. Long story short, I'm all for additional spoons.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p>
