Setting up the Testing Environment

Oracle VM VirtualBox #

We will use VirtualBox to deploy our test VMs. Some labs will be done on Docker, so if you already have a Docker engine, you can use it instead of deploying a new VM.

You must proceed with the VirtualBox installation following the procedure for your system:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

HashiCorp Vagrant #

We will use Vagrant to automatically deploy test environments. To learn more about Vagrant, you can follow our dedicated training.

You must proceed with the Vagrant installation following the procedure for your system:

From Concept to Expertise #

We have pre-configured a repo for the training.

1. Git Repo

   You can use the command below to clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/RousselTM/logstash-formation

2. Environment Choice

   The test environment configurations are in the tp folder. In this folder, there are several subfolders, each corresponding to a test environment: simple VM, VM with Docker, VM with application... Depending on the lab, we will specify which one to use:

   cd logstash-formation/tp/REP

3. Creating the Environment

   Once in the folder corresponding to the desired environment, you can launch the creation of the environment on VirtualBox with the following Vagrant command:

   vagrant up
