Hi Tal!

Tempest takes a cloud endpoint as an input (along with a few other
things) and runs its tests in a black box manner. It's not really
involved in setting up the clouds it's testing.

In the CI system, we're currently using devstack to do an all-in-one
install on a pristine cloud node. The code to run this is here:

https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/devstack-gate/tree/

We do that in several different combinations, so each change gets 4 or 5
different clouds created for it.

There are plans in work to also spin up multi-node clouds and test them
- but I doubt that those will land this cycle.
