      Building on issue OSPRH-3667 which extracts crc into a nodepool node, this epic tracks extracting the EDPM nested VMs into nodepool nodes.

      The current approach requires a large host VM, with nested VMs inside it representing each bare metal node. This has the following disadvantages:

      • Nested virt can be significantly slower for the workloads running within them
      • Nested virt can be less reliable, raising the failure rate of CI jobs with no clear root cause
      • It is not possible to enable FIPS in test workloads in some environments, due to lack of available entropy

      This Epic is to track implementing Redfish virtual media boot with sushy-tools using VMs from the test environment (such as Zuul nodepool nodes)

      The impact of this work will be:

      • Increased reliability of upstream jobs
      • More but smaller VMs required for bare metal jobs
      • The ability to reliably test FIPS upstream
      • All of the above, but for downstream jobs too.
