Introducing project TestDrive

Initiating a new IT project can be overwhelming due to the complexity of integrating various tools and platforms, especially in environments where deployments using Kubernetes, NGINX, WildFly, or Tomcat are common. To simplify this process, Octopus has introduced the TestDrive project, which offers virtual machines available on Vagrant Cloud that encapsulate self-contained CI/CD workflows with popular open-source platforms like Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes. These virtual machines, built for Hyper-V and VirtualBox, provide users with a complete CI/CD pipeline environment that is easy to set up with just a few commands and offers a secure space to experiment with Octopus and related tools. The TestDrive VMs aim to reduce frustration and speed up the learning curve for developers exploring Octopus's capabilities within a CI/CD pipeline.
