8.2. Type of Systems

This section will outline the general types of DIMS systems we will deploy. For example:

  1. Developer boxes
  2. Integration environment
  3. Dedicated test environment
  4. Production environment

These names were borrowed from the Hubflow documentation at http://datasift.github.io/gitflow/Versioning.html

8.2.1. Developer boxes

This refers to one of two types of systems:

  1. Virtual machines (or a system of virtual machines), managed by Vagrant, that a developer runs on his developer workstation to develop, debug and test code.
  2. A bare-metal system, such as a laptop, used for development, field testing, demonstrations, etc.
