Looking for a Tool to Simulate Dev and QA Environments, Any Suggestions?

Asked By CuriousCoder42 On

I'm searching for a tool that allows me to create virtual machines that function like real servers. My goal is to develop directly on these VMs, using something similar to openvscode-server for coding, deploying Docker containers, etc. Once I finish coding in this simulated environment, I'd like to compile everything for release versioning, deploy it for QA testing, and then launch it live once verified. Additionally, I want the ability to exchange resources between live and QA environments, especially swapping resources from real servers with virtual ones when necessary. Does anyone know of a tool that does all this? If not, I'm considering building my own, but I want to ensure there's nothing out there already to save me from reinventing the wheel.

Reliza Hub might support most of what you're looking for. It streamlines the process of promoting software to production. Check out their [promotion piece](https://worklifenotes.com/2023/05/12/how-to-promote-software-to-production-with-reliza-hub/) for more info!

It seems like you're looking for a comprehensive tool to manage everything in one place, but usually, there are multiple tools that excel at individual tasks. For managing dev, QA, and production containers, I recommend using Terraform along with GitLab for CI/CD. In my current setup, we use Jenkins for builds along with Argo and Helm for deployments to Kubernetes. I’d love to integrate Terraform for spinning up clusters, but that part remains manual for now.

You could definitely use Helm with Kubernetes for that setup. There are quite a few ways to run Kubernetes locally, which might fit your needs perfectly.
