    How does Tenks relate to OVB?

Good question. As far as I'm aware, OVB is a tool for using an OpenStack cloud to host the virtual bare metal nodes, and is typically used for testing TripleO. Tenks does not rule out supporting this use case in future, but currently operates more like the Ironic devstack plugin, using libvirt/KVM/QEMU as the virtualisation provider.


I'm presuming, as Tenks is supposed to support multiple hypervisors, that a multi-arch environment would be supported (different node types on different architectures).  Or does this even enter into the consideration?
