At this point your system is configured for single vm deployment and it can be used as such. Pause here if you wish to get some practice using openqa before progressing further.

#### Problem
A problem arises when testing an operating system, especially when doing continuous testing, that there is always a certain combination of jobs, each one with its own settings, that needs to be run for every revision. Those combinations can be different for different 'flavors' of the same revision, like running a different set of jobs for each architecture. This combinational problem can go one step further if OpenQA is being used for different kinds of tests, like running some simple pre-integration tests for some snapshots combined with more comprehensive post-integration tests for release candidates.

This section describes how an instance of OpenQA *could* be configured using the options in the admin area of the webUI to automatically create all the required jobs for each revision of your operating system that needs to be tested. *If* you were starting from scratch (the difficult way), you would probably go through the following order:
