Example of VM Provisioning API for Robottelo

vm_provisioning.py

# Test body
with VirtualMachine(ram=512, cpu=1, os='rhel7') as vm:
    stdout, stderr = vm.command('echo "hellow world"')
    vm.ip_addr
    vm.hostname

# one vm for a test case
class ClientTestCase(UnitTest):
    def setUp(self):
        self.vm = VirtualMachine(...)

    def tearDown(self):
        self.vm.shutdown()

# properties
provisioning_host = machine.domain.com

This?

# properties
provisioning_host = 'machine.example.com'

Is something like this in mind?

# one vm for a test case
class ClientTestCase(UnitTest):
    def setUp(self):
        self.vm = VirtualMachine(...)
        self.conf_properties = conf.properties.copy()
        conf.properties['main.server.hostname'] = vm.hostname

    def tearDown(self):
        self.vm.shutdown()
        conf.properties = self.conf_properties

Yes! The rule will be that you have to provide a tearDown in order to use this new functionality with your tests.
