[TP] Setting up the test environment




What you will learn in this TP :

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:

https://developer.hashicorp.com/vagrant/install

From concept to expertise

We have preconfigured a git repo for the training.

  1. Git repo

    You can use the command below to clone the repo:

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

  2. Warning: Undefined array key "correction" in /usr/share/nginx/html/formation/template-session.php on line 756

    Deprecated: str_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated in /usr/share/nginx/html/formation/template-session.php on line 756
  3. Choice of environment

    The configurations for the test environments 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 ansible-formation/tp/REP
  4. Environment creation

    Once in the folder corresponding to the desired environment, you can start the environment creation on Virtualbox with the following Vagrant command:

    vagrant up
