[Fiware-testbed] Provisional servers for Testbed

[stefano de panfilis]

dear juanjo and miguel,

thank you for the news, they are not ideal, but much more than nothing and
at least we can concretely move ahead!

as a plan, as you can see from my eamil of yesterday evening, we are going
to have 40 different ges to run on the testbed and most of them declared to
be ready to be installed within july. not yet clear how many environments
we have to build for the uc projects (most likely we will not need 8
different complete testbed instances ...).

so the only step we can do in june is to create the needed vms with the sw
environment ready for each specific ge and than store their images and
download them. this way in july we can istall, restoring each vm, the ge.

as i see quite doubtfull that we can run all the 40 instances together
using these three servers we can only run the sanithy check hoping that on
1st september we have the promised infrastructute needed for having all the
ge running together to make the integration tests and than the various uc
projects validation.

certainly if in august we do not have the promised infrastructure than we
are in real troubles, still i hope this is not the case.
if you need my help, to meet red.es people to motivate them, please let me
know i'll be more than happy to help!

ciao,
stefano
