BIOS has to be overcloud full ( is that correct???)

wallaby c8 - OVB, virt

UEFI has to be hardened

wallaby c8 - OVB, virt ??
17 on rhel-9 - OVB

IOS Hardened

From TheJulia's Point of View, we could likely wind down BIOS Hardened testing. All new hardware is going to be UEFI. Our newer lab gear is UEFI only. I'm not convinced there is really value to have such intensive BIOS testing when the value would be the same image, same bits, slightly diferent bootloader handling logic to justify a wholely differnet integration job (Edited)

( is that correct???)

Yes, I think we'll document that overcloud-full should be used if their forced to use BIOS boot for whatever reason (Edited)
