I don't think a separate openstack instance should be necessary... I'm not sure how ours is currently configured -- and I certainly haven't kept up with the state of the art in openstack networking -- but having a separate vlan for a tenant is a thing openstack.... But, also while, clearly, keeping systems secure is important, I don't want to overthink this. For example, even without greater isolation, we could let users who already have access to launch their own instances create and submit tests, can't we? Or am I missing something? Overall, supporting "run these tests on a cloud image" is definitely something I want to do. However, that doesn't mean that the cloud image has to be within taskotron -- the client itself could just have the command line tools and credentials for accessing the cloud, launching the image, connecting to it, and so on, right? -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ qa-devel mailing list qa-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/qa-devel
