Another thing we want to do is expand the unit tests. A lot of
functionality
can be independently verified through these types of tests and it
won't even
require virtualization. I am working to expand the test cases and
we'll make
sure that the existing Jenkins job runs those automatically.
I'm sure the above is much simpler than getting a server :)
So regardless of unitests, we still need the ability to test ballooning
and memory sharing which requires real iron.
