 Plan is to setup osgeo3 similar to osgeo4 and osgeo7.

 osgeo3 will server as a secondary production server but to serve things
 that are of a more riskay or experimental nature.

 So I'm thinking of things like jenkins, bots, exploratory services, old
 vms.

 Many of the old vms that were on osgeo3 that are running old os, I'd like
 to move back from osgeo7 to osgeo3.

 I'm also thinking we might want to explore things we need actual vms for.

 The current version of lxd we are using on osgeo4 and osgeo7 in addition
 to supporting containers also supports virtual machines via QEMU.

 So virtual machines would be useful for cases that aren't linux.  E.g. I'm
 thinking of BSDs and possibly windows (windows we might want to just do
 cloud because of the licensing and the fact windows is a hog).
