+1, the intention of this email was to get the initial criteria used by the
LDT team to qualify a "large deployment".

We will need to factor in the dimensions as well as establishing a baseline
RA/testing criteria for validation eventually.  Do you think that we should
bring up the "test scale on real HW" with the OpenStack Innovation Center
(OSIC) team since they will have multiple clusters running with 1K nodes
eventually?  I think Clint's reply ties in well with yours (establish
tests, deployment model for testing, and benchmark workloads).
