HostManager: Research current status

[Rebits]

Base branch
system-test

Description

In the development branch, we have implemented a comprehensive set of fundamental methods for system and E2E host handling within the HostManager class. This class plays a pivotal role in facilitating remote low-level operations on designated hosts by utilizing the provided inventory.

However, it is crucial to conduct a thorough assessment to determine whether additional methods should be incorporated to ensure complete support for all system tests.

To Do

• [x] Conduct research on the HostManager class and thoroughly document its methods
• [x] Identify and incorporate any necessary methods required to implement all proposed system tests
