I have a full functional test suite in place for OpenStack, on my own
CI. Though having it ported to the Debian infrastructure will be a lot
of work.

I can invest time in such a work, though how do I get the needed
resources. It will require at least a VM with 8 GB of RAM, and it'd be
even best if it was on bare metal (so it'd go faster to install and run).

For the CI which I'm using currently, I'm using Debian Live, booted over
PXE, so that just a reset is enough to "redeploy" a fresh Jessie. Would
the DSA provide that?

Thoughts anyone?

Cheers,
