Beaker core tasks

Beaker tasks which are essential to Beaker's operation.

Besides the custom tasks which Beaker users would write for a specific testing scenario, there are a number of tasks which are distributed and maintained along with Beaker. Among these, the /distribution/check-install, /distribution/install, and /distribution/reservesys tasks are essential for Beaker's operation. The /distribution/inventory task is not essential for Beaker's operation, but it is required for accurate functioning of Beaker's ability to schedule jobs on test systems meeting user specified hardware criteria. The /distribution/beaker/dogfood task runs Beaker's test suite (hence, the name dogfood) and is perhaps only useful for meeting certain specific requirements of the Beaker developers.

You can find more information about core tasks in Beaker core task documentation.
