Test Environment Service - Implementation Summary

Date: 2025-10-06 Status: ✅ Complete and Production Ready

---

🎯 What Was Built

A complete containerized test environment service integrated into the orchestrator, enabling automated testing of:

• Single taskservs
• Complete servers with multiple taskservs
• Multi-node cluster topologies (Kubernetes, etcd, etc.)

Key Innovation

No manual Docker management - The orchestrator automatically handles:

• Container lifecycle
• Network isolation
• Resource limits
• Multi-node topologies
• Test execution
• Cleanup

---

📦 Implementation Details

• Container lifecycle management
• Network creation/isolation
• Image pulling
• Command execution
• Log collection

3. test_orchestrator.rs - Orchestration

• Environment provisioning logic
• Single taskserv setup
• Server simulation

### Nushell Integration

#### 1. **test_environments.nu** - Core Commands

- `test env create` - Create from config
- `test env single` - Single taskserv test
- `test env server` - Server simulation
- `test env cluster` - Cluster topology
- `test env list/get/status` - Management
- `test env run` - Execute tests
- `test env logs` - View logs
- `test env cleanup` - Cleanup
- `test quick` - One-command test

#### 2. **test/mod.nu** - CLI Dispatcher

- Command routing
- Help system
- Integration with main CLI

#### 3. **CLI Integration**

- Added to main dispatcher
- Registry shortcuts: `test`, `tst`
- Full help documentation

### Configuration & Templates

#### 1. **test-topologies.toml** - Predefined Topologies

Templates included:

- `kubernetes_3node` - K8s HA cluster (1 CP + 2 workers)
- `kubernetes_single` - All-in-one K8s
- `etcd_cluster` - 3-member etcd cluster
- `containerd_test` - Standalone containerd
- `postgres_redis` - Database stack

#### 2. **Cargo.toml** - Dependencies

- Added `bollard = "0.17"` for Docker API

### 6. List & Manage

```bash
# List environments
provisioning test env list

# Check status
provisioning test env status <env-id>

# View logs
provisioning test env logs <env-id>

# Cleanup
provisioning test env cleanup <env-id>
```plaintext
