Hi all,
thanks for answering.
From @Vasu:
----
Personally I think its a big win if we can get this going with qemu/kvm
since it will decentralize's the testing and one can use the local
enviornment
to test out it but there are lot of layers to integrate (like local
server capacity/dns/ipmi etc) and also integrate just the
paddles/pulpito for overall view of test run
or a different layer can be brought in to share the results.
Is that what you are looking for?

Yop,
I think Teuthology would be much more accessible if an user could have
the possibilty to choose were to run the teutology tests.
By this i mean make tehutology generic and this would mean redesign or
adapt if needed.
By generic i mean:
If the User/Developer of teutology/ceph has a only kvm server, he would
need to provide only the hostnames of VMs needed or the KVM Server
LIBVIRT-URI.
If User want to use openstack then use openstack.
If user would like to use kubernetes for rook , then use a
kubernetes-cluster.
From the high-level perspective, we would provide an API for Teuotology
where we seperate the test-execution from the testing-env and
deployment/Provisioning.
So this in the theory. So now in practice i know this is a
technical-debt and can take time/efforts, but imho would be worth to
discuss and we could take first step.
I created the card because we might need a short-term Roadmap/design and
that is why we could start with libvirt-backend, as first
implementation. (keeping backward compatibility with openstack and other
backends)
If we have others interest imho we could other "backends" and others
provider. (later)
So as an pseudo example, the best scenario would be :
git clone https://github.com/ceph/teuthology
or dnf/yum/zypper/apt install teuthology
# edit config with libvirt or other backends + hosts
teuthology.conf
teuthougy run.
# this would mean, the user can use their tool for deploying things/vms,
or we provide pre-maded images
Best
Dario

Hi All,
i would like to create a generic libvirt backend forteuthology.
I have already created a RFC feature on upstream tracker:
https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/36714, where i discuss (really)
shortly.
If you have any feedback or you would like to join
efforts/collaborate
feel free to ping me on the issue or here !
If you are looking for qemu/kvm, then i dont think there is anything
that is helpful in teuthology right now for you to look into, the
openstack api in
teuthology uses libcloud and the libcloud lacks basic api's to work
with qemu.
Personally I think its a big win if we can get this going with
qemu/kvm since it will decentralize's the testing and one can use the

Thank you and enjoy your day,
