Hi guys, what's the role of beaker-proxy? Why the test systems don't communicate directly with the server but use the proxy instead ?

Hi Alex,

The test machines are not authenticated to talk directly to the scheduler, the lab controller is basically vouching for them since its the one that provisioned them. The other benefit is that the test machines can be isolated on their own network.
