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.


I strongly agree here. Very strongly, let's not reinvent the wheel here.

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.


It also supports many little features you'll end up implementing yourself,
spare yourself the pleasure.
Y.


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