This is thread that interacts with a VIM. It processes TASKs sequentially against a single VIM.
The tasks are stored at database in table ro_tasks
A single ro_task refers to a VIM element (flavor, image, network, ...).
A ro_task can contain several 'tasks', each one with a target, where to store the results
