Thanks Erlon. +1 on running those tests on gate.  

Though I have concern over running those tests by default(making config options True by default), because it is not confirmed all cinder backends implements this functionality and it only works for nova libvirt driver. We need to keep config options default as False and Devstack/CI can make it True to run the tests. 

If this feature becomes mandatory functionality (or cinder say standard feature i think) to implement for every backends and it work with all nova driver also(in term of instance action events) then, we can enable this feature tests by default. But until then, we should keep them disable by default in Tempest but we can enable them on gate via Devstack (patch you mentioned) and test them daily on integrated-gate. 

Overall, I am ok with Devstack change to make these tests enable for every Cinder backends but we need to keep the config options false in Tempest. 

I will review those patch and leave comments on gerrit (i saw those patch introduce new config option than using the existing one)
