I think by now containers are the way to go :)

- Target version changed from future to Milestone 21
Shortly discussed with slindomansilla. What we think might be feasible and useful is to conduct one of the existing test modules from openQA scenarios like "textmode" within a container. This would fit in somewhere between tests in OBS like https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:okurz:test-packagehub and the openQA installation scenarios. The quickmost dirty approach is probably when we boot any existing (older, stable) OS disk image, install docker in there, pull the latest published image of the product to test, add more current repos with SUSEConnect/zypper, register, install and conduct a simple test. However, this sounds a bit wasteful as we would need to boot a VM to conduct a container based test within. I feel we really should use gitlab CI instead. Maybe one micro-app that listens to AMQP OBS events and on new publications of the products we test trigger a container based CI test in a gitlab project.
- Target version changed from Milestone 21 to future
