multinode jobs are running under donated clouds but as you know ovb not.
We want to keep ovb jobs in our promotion pipeline because they bring
high value to the tests (ironic, ipv6, ssl, probably more).

Another alternative would be to reduce it to one ovb job (ironic with
introspection + ipv6 + ssl at minimum) and use the 4 multinode jobs
into the promotion pipeline -instead of the 3 ovb.

current: 3 ovb jobs running every night
proposal: 18 ovb jobs per day

The addition will cost us 15 jobs into rh1 load. Would it be acceptable?

Using RDO would also be an option. I'm just not sure about our
available resources, maybe other can reply on this one.

Yes, it would make sense. Right now we have zero TripleO testing when
doing changes in RDO packages (we only run packstack and puppet jobs
which is not enough). Again, I think it's a problem of capacity here.

Thoughts?
