[Blueprint servercloud-p-cloud-image-testing] Ubuntu Server Cloud Image Testing

[James Page]

Blueprint changed by James Page:

Whiteboard changed:
  Scope: Official ec2 images for Ubuntu Server across all regions for amd64 and i386
  Coverage:
    All regions
    All zones
    All types
    Multi-instance
    Tests:
      simple-user-data
      multipart-user-data
      cloud-config
      default (no use of metadata service)
  
  Objective:
   a) Verification that ec2 images boot, reboot and shutdown OK
   b) Verification that cloud-unit is working OK in images
  
  Method: ubuntu-server-ec2-testing project
  Current Frequency: Candidates for Development Milestones only.
  
  Questions/Proposals:
  [james-page] We should be performing a daily test of ec2 images across all regions during development
  [james-page] We published new AMI's for most existing Ubuntu releases - but they don't get verified as good
  [james-page] Reporting of results is currently awkward between jenkins and iso tracker - this needs to be automated/easier
  [james-page] We should test the generic cloud image on OpenStack on a daily basis as well.

+ update testing framework to make use of spare ec2 time: TODO
+ investigate options for testing ubuntu cloud images on freecloud/canonistack: TODO
+ investigate options for testing ubuntu cloud images on eucalyptus: TODO
+ investigate/implement automated reporting of test results to iso.qa.ubuntu.com: TODO
+ [james blair] freecloud should get full arm servers and integrate: TODO
