Alexandre,

very cool. Next step would be what we call a dsvm job that uses this
devstack hook. Example i am most familiar is is nova-docker's
check-tempest-dsvm-docker job:

https://github.com/openstack-infra/project-config/blob/master/jenkins/jobs/nova-docker.yaml
(also see zuul/layout.yaml)

thanks,
dims
