It will be a VM running updated Fedora. Rebooting during execution isn't something we explicitly support but it has been requested before. I've filed an RFE ticket to track the feature: https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/T849 Our intent is to get this into place before F26 knowing full well that we're going to be missing features that some folks will need. We're not quite stupid/arrogant enough to pretend that we know what's needed to support all the different kinds of tasks that people will want to run. Instead of guessing what people need, we're intending to start adding features once there are use cases from people who know the components they work on FAR better than we do. Tim
