For example: simple mode does not require cluster (corosync, pacemaker, vips, etc), so we had to skip this task for Simple mode somehow - we can use conditional tasks, or conditional manifests in our tasks, or create separate task graphs for different deployment modes, etc - either way it's pretty much doubling the amount of work for some parts of Fuel and our development cycle.

So if you want to test Fuel on a minimum set of nodes, you can do this on 3 nodes (Fuel master, controller, compute), just like with Simple mode before. I suppose, it's time to finally drop support for Simple mode in Fuel :)

Anastasia, please confirm that we can switch smoke to one-ha-controller model, or even drop smoke at all and use BVT only (running CentOS 3 HA controllers and same with Ubuntu).
