Contribution request. Automation of ORB Linux VM testing

[melezhik]

Testing will basically include:

• spin up some orb VM ( ubuntu, debian, rocky linux , etc )
• install some popular packages tools / packages / services ( for example - nginx, mariadb / podman / zfs / wordpress / etc )
• verify that there is no errors during installation
• basic / smoke testing that installed software works correctly

Benefits

• early errors determination
• new ORB release testing
• tests are automated and written on high level programming language ( I am ready to show a demo )
• tests are easily run in dev mode ( on localhost ) , centralized manner ( via CI, central server )

Discloser - I am an author of few automation frameworks and I am looking for way to contribute into existing products on win / win manner.

I can give more details on frameworks / tools here if the discussion find some interest

Thanks
