I think this depends on what kind of backend you're trying to build. Historically we've had teuthology-openstack, which was a single script that set up an entirely new teuthology instance in the cloud and run a particular suite before shutting down. My understanding is the SUSE fork relies primarily on that, but it's diverged quite a bit from master and is slowly being migrated back in. We also currently already have a libvirt backend for the "ovh" beanstalk tube in the upstream, which lets us use openstack VMs "inside" of an existing teuthology deployment. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, I imagine you'll want to look at both of those for a model and probably update teuthology-openstack to use libvirt instead of the openstack CLI commands? -Greg
