Ah nevermind I found out QEMU was installed from packaging.

We don't have packages for Cloud Hypervisor, but we can download
a static binary from a specific release, do you think that would be
acceptable?

Thanks,
Sebastien

Hi Sean,

Cloud Hypervisor can boot on Microsoft Azure VMs as this is what our project
relies on to validate every PR. And it should be able to boot on any other CI
providers.

I've been looking at https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/OvmfPkg/PlatformCI
but I don't understand where the QEMU binary is built (I will need to do the same
for Cloud Hypervisor so that it's available on the machine), and I can't find the actual
tests that are being run there.

Thanks,
Sebastien

can cloud hypervisor boot on any of the free CI providers?
If you look at ArmVirt, Ovmf, and even the emulatorpkg those all do
similar things.  They are able to run on azure dev-ops cloud agents.

If that is the case following a pattern from defined here would lead to
the easiest and most consistent path.

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/ArmVirtPkg/PlatformCI
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/EmulatorPkg/PlatformCI
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/OvmfPkg/PlatformCI

Thanks
Sean
