Setting up the test 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 installation of VirtualBox by following the procedure corresponding to 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 installation of Vagrant by following the procedure corresponding to your system:

From concept to expertise #

We have preconfigured 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 located 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. Creation of the environment

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

   vagrant up
