Well hey, this looks pretty good ;)

so we can run openQA in Ze Cloud, with KVM, and it can work and
complete a test.

However, jsedlak is running into some issues with newer openQA now he's
trying to update our containers to a current version. I'm gonna help
him look into it and we'll hope to have it straightened out soon. This
is looking like we could get somewhere, though.
