Development environments

For the development of different components of GAP, an environment is needed for integration testing. This is done by making use of a Proxmox cluster in the GÉANT lab environment, that facilitates different VMs for each developer.

Inside a development VM, containerlab is used to emulate virtual routers of both Juniper and Nokia. Port forwarding then enables the developer to run applications such as GSO and LSO on their local machine, to help speed up the development cycle.
