Open Stack

Reminder to test your project specific jobs if those are dependent on Devstack or Tempest base jobs and keep adding the results on etherpad-  https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/devstack-bionic

We will merge the Devstack and Tempest base job on Bionic on 10th Dec 2018.

Tested on [1] and working fine. Thanks corvus and clarkb for guiding to this optimized way.

Any zuulv3 jobs not using devstack/tempest base job required to migrate to use bionic (Devstack patch provide the bionic nodeset) and test it.  Start writing the results on etherpad[2]
