I am not the QA engineer so I do not fully know all the insights of the test environment and its setup, however up to my knowledge, we are using nested virtualization for simplicity in our CI and these tests were meant to be essentially executed in our CI, so they are likely to be not suited for executions in a local checkout, in case that's your final intention.

Thanks for sharing the information. We want to also include it as a part of our CI pipeline. So I was going through the test cases and approach that is taken by elemental to reuse it

Hello, indeed, we use nested virtualization in GCP, feel free to check our github actions for more details https://github.com/rancher/elemental/blob/main/.github/workflows/master-e2e.yaml

Yes as already said the e2e tests are done with nested qemu on GCP. But the integration and smoke tests are done on GH runners with MacOS, as virtualization is possible on these runners. But the smoke/integ tests can be run on qemu too. More information can also be found in https://github.com/rancher/elemental/blob/main/tests/Makefile
