Hi Marc,

I have been working on a development environment for the oVirt. The environment is basically two VMs running beside together. One runs the engine, second is a host that runs the vdsm with nested virtualization.

 I am now working on the vagrant file with orchestration to make the environment setup easier. So if You would wait for a few more days, You will be able to start from my setup.

Hi Petr,

I would advise you to look into oVirt System Tests which are already being used for over a year in oVirt's CI/CD flow and are continously finding real regressions on a weekly basis.

It is used to continously test each oVirt project in CI, and continuous deliver it to a 'tested' repo only if it passed the system tests validation.

The oVirt Systems tests project is getting updated also very frequently with new tests, which you can find here [3]

We already have testing suites for 'basic install with normal engine/RHEL hypervisors', 'hosted engine', 'hyper converged setup with gluster', 'next gen node based installation'.

In addition, we support exporting the environment and importing it, so basically you can bring up a complex setup once, export it and use it later for demo purposes or just reproducing a bug.

In general, Lago also supports other distros such as Debian, Fedora and can be installed either with RPMs or PiP.

For more info you can read here [1][2], There are also multiple videos and slidedesk available on both projects if you're interested.

[2] http://lago.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[3] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-system-tests.git;a=shortlog;h=refs%2Fheads%2Fmaster

 

As for the containers. For you to have a full test setup, you would need to place a VM inside the container and run a nested virtualization inside. This is what the two projects you mentioned are doing. Therefore they are not that lightweight as you would like.

I would recommend using the VM environment, which is the simplest solution.

I will send a reply again once my environment is up.

Does ovirt-system-tests meet your needs? It can leave the VMs standing when it's done.

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.
