Thanks for your work on the multinode part of nodepool. Actually, we
spent some time to dive into nodepool code and concept to propose this
kind of evolution. Unfortunatly we didn't knew that you were working
on this, If we had known, we would have worked on the devstack-gate
evolution to take benefit of your effort. We probably should have open
a BP to have a better visibility.
However, it has helped us to better understand the CI process. As you
know, having some multinode test in the gate is something that we
would like to see as quick as possible. So we will try to spend some
time on it, and to propose some evolutions of devstack-gate (or any
other tool) to see jenkins running multinode tempest test. We don't
have your expertise on CI tools, so may be we should fill a BP to have
a place to discuss about specifications of this work?
