Wikimedia Release Engineering Team/Train development environment

In Mid-May 2020 we started meeting to explore a local development environment for the train deploy

The train development environment (or "train-dev") is a project to build an environment for the following:
 * Verifying that deployment tooling (Scap, deploy-promote) and processes work. This is an integration test for deployment tooling. It's also a system test for the deployment process ("train").
 * A safe place to make change and experiment with things. The train-dev environment is entirely isolated from production, so it's safe to do anything, without having to worry you take downWikipedia.
 * A place to learn how to do deployments. Learning includes making mistakes, and train-dev is a safe place to make such mistakes.

Current status as of early August 2020 is that "scap prep [VERSION]" works.
