operating system - How can we do continuous integration testing of VMs in a VM? -


most cloud providers grant instances run in kvm or xen, or implies owner of instance doesn't have low-level access hypervisor needed in order create os image scratch, instance.

this makes me think bochs might useful building , testing os images within cloud/ci environment, emulator bochs should able run within vm, more slow. though advantage, bochs let test on different hardware, don't consider requirement @ time.

is there standard solution problem? there many open source distributions , operating systems out there - i'd interested know more elegant approaches taken might satisfy requirement (even if aren't standard).

note containers don't seem answer - may testing kernel-specific features in cases, or testing different os. (however, maybe containers useful instantiating portable , fast build environment!)
