How does Tenks relate to OVB?<br>

<div class="gmail_default"
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>
