("....I've created a "test environment" over the past few weekends that includes:

Four services/servers:

• Prometheus monitoring server
• Consul dynamic discovery server(s)
• basic nginx web server
• basic ftp server (that refuses to work)
  All of these I spin up/destroy via Terraform, and are instantly configured via Puppet. So I have decent knowledge to share about: Terraform, Puppet, Prometheus, Consul....", Niko Smeds says about hosting the first meeting of 2017)
