Comment (by robe):

 Thinking about this more, maybe we only need new drives for osgeo9, would
 be nice if we could put some ssds in that one.

 For osgeo8, as Angelos mentioned, there will be a need for vms dedicated
 for ogc testing in cases where osgeo is the reference implementation
 (things like various demo sites and also maybe a tutorial).  For these
 kinds of use cases, we need power, but if the disks go bad it's not as
 critical since these will most likely be rebuilt by ci/cds. The other
 thing is these kinds of use-cases would probably tend to wear down the
 disks more so I'd rather get the last bit of life out of the ones we have.

 That said osgeo8 has a good chunk of disk -- true I think one might be
 bad, but maybe we should just wear it down, put non-mission critical stuff
 on it.  I also want to experiment with full VMS.  Linux containers work
 great for most things, but what they can't do is emulate hardware like the
 arm platforms (something that a true VM can do). So this might be a good
 place for those as well which would be dedicated to ci/cd testing.
