[Arce Moreno, Abraham]

Thanks Michel,

I am taking your email as a base to understand from your experience more on the details
to work the stories below.

Currently this is our current libvirt configuration [0]

[ All-In-One]

- setup_allinone.sh
- Controllers: 2
  - vCPUs: 6
  - Memory: 18 GB
  - Disks:
    - 0 600 GB
    - 1 200 GB
    - 2 200 GB
  - NICs: 4

[ Standard Controller ]

- setup_standard_controller.sh
- Controllers: 2
  - vCPUs: 4
  - Memory: ~ 17 GB
  - Disks:
    - 0 200 GB
    - 1 200 GB
  - 4 NICs
- Computes: 2
  - vCPUs: 4
  - Memory: ~ 17 GB
  - Disks
    - 0 200 GB
    - 1 200 GB
  - 4 NICs

Some questions:

- Do we need any changes to the above configurations?
- We are covered for Simplex, Duplex and Controller Storage configurations
  but Dedicated Storage is not identified as such, do we need to:
  1. Create a specific setup_dedicated_controller.sh?
  2. or should we reuse existing setup_standard_controller.sh passing a parameter
       to identify between Controller or Dedicated Storage?
- Once we have these optimizations do we need to port them to our VirtualBox
  configurations?
- In the story description, we mentioned:
  "Optimize cpu, memory, hardware emulation, etc for test coverage including..."
  Any more thoughts from your side on what the test coverage means? Any specific
  Things you want us to consider from a testing perspective? Does it involves things
  like tempest?

Can you please let us understand the use case for this story?

What do you think about this [1] reference configuration for tenant networking?
