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.
