Exploring Vagrant for Development and Testing

I knew nothing about it until a week ago and I found it incredibly
intuitive and easy to get meaningful work done. I'd suggest the following
as a quickstart:

git clone https://github.com/serac/idp-vagrantscd idp-vagrants
pushd idp-base; vagrant up; popd
bin/load-test-vagrant.sh


That will run the load tests against a plain-vanilla IdP on Java 8 and
Jetty 9.3 and put JMeter test output in your home directory. You can get
access to the console via "vagrant ssh" and poke around. I installed
everything in the /opt directory for consistency with our "default" install
location.
