OTOH, I don't believe we can test a PXE deploy within a single VM today, and need to resume discussions with infra about this. There are some other aspects of Ironic (IPMI, SOL access, any vendor-specific drivers) which we'll need real hardware to test because they can't effectively be virtualized. TripleO should cover some (much?) of those needs, once they are able to switch to using Ironic instead of nova-baremetal. -Devananda
