Blueprint changed by Robbie Williamson:

Whiteboard changed:
  Work Items:
- Evaluate jenkins framework for capability of boot/deploy testing: POSTPONED
- Develop common test procedure (install, boot, shutdown, boot again, fsck, etc. etc): POSTPONED
- Develop test for minimal install: POSTPONED
- Develop test for Full install (all non-conflicting packages): POSTPONED
- Develop test for supported upgrade path (natty -> oneiric): POSTPONED
- Develop test for LAMP app: POSTPONED
- Develop test for complex networking (bridging, bonding): POSTPONED
- Develop test for OpenStack deploy: POSTPONED
- Develop test for Samba + LDAP + Kerberos backend: POSTPONED
- Develop test for bare metal recovery from backups: POSTPONED
- Document setup procedures for testing framework: POSTPONED
- Create metrics from boot tests for boot time analysis: POSTPONED

  == Actions from Session ==
  
   * Find a base framework to support boot and deployment testing:
    * Boot:
     * Minimal install  - startup and shutdown OK
     * Full install - startup and shutdown OK
     * Complete upgrade and then re-test.
     * collect metrics on boot time
    * Image Proving
     * RAID testing.
     * Multipath and encryption
     * ISO installs of AMI
     * Package Removal Testing:
      * install services
      * start services
      * check services
      * stop services
      * uninstall services
      * re-install same services
      * start & re-check services
   * Configure for complex deployment scenarios:
    * Wiki + Database + Memcache + Load Balancer
    * Bridging and bonding of network interfaces
    * Networking File Systems
    * Openstack Deployment test
    * Launchpad
    * Samba + LDAP or Kerberos Backend
    * Backup solutions
