Define "sufficient" :). Most development is done on
"single instance"
configs (developer machines) with varying degrees of sophistication
before it hits the cluster.
'Most' is a perfectly compelling statistic.
A dev-environment-in-a-box is emphatically not a replacement for a
staging cluster like Beta Labs. What you'd do is:
1) Develop locally against VM environment, run tests in VM, rinse, repeat
2) Submit changeset for review; upon test pass and review, change gets
merged auto-deployed to Labs
3) Deploy changeset into prod
Yep, that makes perfect sense. I'm at a
conference this week with
limited time and network access, but I want to learn all about vagrant
when I get back.
