Interactive debugging inside CI systems
summary
Describes spread, a self-operated CI tool used by Snapd/Ubuntu Core that can run both as a cloud-backed service and locally, using executors like QEMU, LXD, Google Compute Engine or Linode. Explains how spread inverts the usual SaaS CI model to let developers reproduce failures interactively and provision/discard test environments locally to speed debugging of environment-specific test failures.
