Makes sense to me. Validating the end result of some workflow makes <br>
sense to me. One thing I'm wondering about is what you'd start with for <br>
basic scenarios. It might make sense to start with some of the very <br>
basic kinds of things that openstack interoperability certification <br>
requires, like create a VM, attach a volume and port, and then delete it <br>
all. Then I guess you'd build from there?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes sir the scenarios you mention are exactly what we have in the spreadsheet and want to add more.

No opinion.<br>

Again no opinion but I wanted to say thanks for communicating this for <br>
others less involved in this space - it's good to know *something* is <br>
going on.<br>

Again, no real opinion from me. :) Hopefully that other person that I <br>
just saw run away over there...<br>
