One of my job requirement is to keep testing the latest Fedora cloud images. We have a list of tests from Fedora QA team. But the biggest problem is that I don't like doing these manually. I was looking for a way to run these automatically. We can do this by the normal CI systems, but there are two problems in that.

• Most CI systems cannot handle cloud images, unless there is a real cloud running somewhere.
• Maintaining the CI system & the cloud is a pain in my standard.

Tunir came out as a solution to these problems. It is a simple system, which can run predefined set of commands in a fresh cloud instance, or in a remote system. Btw, did I mention that you don't need a cloud to run these cloud instances in your local system? This is possible thanks to the code from Mike Ruckman.

Each job in Tunir requires two files, jobname.json and jobname.txt. The json file contains the details of the Cloud image (if any), or the remote system details, ram required for the vm etc. The .txt file contains the shell commands to run in the system. For now it has two unique commands for Tunir. You can write @@ in front of any command to mark that this command will return non zero exit code. We also have a SLEEP NUMBER_OF_SECONDS option, we use it when we reboot the system, and want Tunir to wait before executing the next command.

Tunir has a stateless mode, I use that all the time :) In stateless mode, it will not save the results in any database. It will directly print the result in the terminal.

$ tunir --job fedora --stateless

Tunir uses redis to store some configuration information, like available ports. Remember to execute createports.py to fill the configuration with available ports.

You can install Tunir using pip, a review request is also up for Fedora. If you are on Fedora 21, you can just test with my package.

I am currently using unittest for the Cloud testcases, they are available at my github. You can use fedora.json and fedora.txt from the same repo to execute the tests. Example of tests running inside Tunir is below (I am using this in the Fedora Cloud tests).

curl -O https://kushal.fedorapeople.org/tunirtests.tar.gz
tar -xzvf tunirtests.tar.gz
python -m unittest tunirtests.cloudtests

UPDATE: Adding the output from Tunir for test mentioned above.
