I've been trying for weeks to come up with a better (most specifically lighter) testing environment for external API requests (specifically vagrant).

Right now It basically hooks into a real running oVirt to spin up and test VMs. It works but it's not portable or lightweight.

I've been looking into the docker containers:
   https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-container-engine (doesnt look like this is going to stay maintained? )
   https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-containers (this requires openshift making it a giant yak to shave)

Are there any thoughts on where to head from here? Im looking to purely launch oVirt of specific versions and run some tests against it (launching real VMs). 

I got the first docker one working, but it turned into a turtles problem because there was no host, and adding a host requires ssh to be running (which isnt), etc etc.
