Thanks very much. Yes, octavia has recently been added. We also recently
switched over to start using
https://github.com/openstack-charmers/charmed-openstack-tester, which has
options that mirror upstream tempest. One of the benefits of the switch is
that adding new tempest plugins is easier as it pulls them into python
virtualenvs. Another nice thing is we can add new tests easily, even if
they aren't labeled as smoke by tempest.
