Let's take a step back for a sec. How many tests and what kind are we talking
about here?

I'm thinking it might be better to not just try and dump all this stuff in
tempest. While in the past we've just dumped all of this in tempest, moving
forward I don't think that's what we want to be doing. The current ec2 tests
have always felt out of place to me in tempest and historically haven't been
maintained as well as the other tests. If we're talking about ramping up the ec2
testing we probably should look at migrating everything elsewhere, especially
given that it just essentially nova testing. I see 2 better options here: we
either put the tests in the tree for the project with the ec2 implementation, or
we create a new repo like tempest-ec2 for testing this. In either case we'll
leverage tempest-lib to make sure the bits your existing testing is relying on
are consumable outside of the tempest repo.
