Meet Lago isolated testing environment
summary
Lago is a Python 2 virtualization testing framework that builds isolated, short‑lived VM environments from vanilla cloud images (example: Fedora 25) described in one YAML init file and stored as a single folder. It boots a simple VM in about 10 seconds (6s to start, ~16s total) and can spin a multi‑VM “data center” in ~25s on a laptop. Deploys via bash scripts or Ansible groups, ensures bootable SSH with IP and exit codes, collects artifacts even from crashed VMs, and destroys environments cleanly for repeatable system tests.
