Notes

• Outer VM no longer called vdc it's called "train-dev"
• Includes curl
• There is an acceptance criteria document
• There is a script called "check" to build train-dev and call acceptance tests
  • Currently can verify in < 30 minutes
• CONTRIBUTING.md exists, contains advice for contributors
• Deploy VM is now stretch once again
• Ahmon provided patch for using php-7.2
• train-dev has ssh keypair for logging into ssh env
  • No longer contains individual user public keys
  • May negate some of the benefits of having a fully downloadable image
• Everything should be a subtask of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T255695
• Would like other people to try the check script

• Next step that train dev should support?
