## Motivation
We are often asked to provide some VM for developers for personal development environment so we need to maintain hypervisor hosts which so far we do rather manually. More modern tooling and cloud solutions should be able to do a much better job at that.
Announcement from today that OpenPlatform is ready for everyone in SUSE, newsletter https://itpe.io.suse.de/open-platform/docs/news/this-sprint-in-openplatform-9/
(I saw that first mentioned in https://suse.slack.com/archives/C029APBKLGK/p1701266764648529?thread_ts=1701266303.318549&cid=C029APBKLGK)
## Acceptance criteria
* **AC1:** It is known if this new platform can be used in any form for individual openQA deployments or personal VMs for us or our SUSE internal users
## Suggestions
* Read https://itpe.io.suse.de/open-platform/docs/ , create a simple virtual machine, demonstrate it to the team
* If it works out fine include instructions in a corresponding wiki place e.g. on https://wiki.suse.net/index.php/SUSE-Quality_Assurance/Labs/QA-SLE_cluster so that our fellow SUSE colleagues know how to use it to create personal VMs rather than relying on our limited hosts
* For further support join Slack channel [#proj-it-open-platform](https://suse.slack.com/archives/C04S88VCHS7)
