Test instances management
-------------------------

`Nodepool <https://docs.openstack.org/infra/nodepool>`_ is
the service in charge of creating tests environment. It supports 3 types of
drivers to create instances:

* Openstack cloud
* Static node
* OpenContainer (runC) (tech preview)
* OpenShift (tech preview)

It is designed to handle the life cycle of build resources (creation, provision,
assignation and destruction).
