For the actual test runs, we wont really have persistence in test environments. We will be automating the provisioning and deployment, so that the machines can be reinstalled after the test run is done and reused for other purposes. And we encourage folks to test on baremetal since that means tests should complete faster, and unless it really is a virtualisation technology being tested, you are more likely to be closer in terms of user-facing-test-cases.
one of the key considerations is artifact collection and export : when a ci run completes, some projects will have rpms or binaries etc ( the artifacts ), that they might want to retain or have available publicly. Our present setup model ( ref: http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/PubHardware ) does not cater for this.
Anyone have thoughts / comments around what this process might look like ?
