Creating the test environment

In this chapter, we'll be focusing on the Prometheus server and we'll be deploying a new instance so that we can apply the concepts covered.

Deployment

Let's begin by creating a new instance of Prometheus and deploying it to the server:

1. To create a new instance of Prometheus, move into the correct repository path:

cd chapter09/

2. Ensure that no other test environments are running and spin up this chapter's environment:

vagrant global-status
vagrant up

3. Validate the successful deployment of the test environment using the following code:

vagrant status

This will output the following:

Current machine states:

prometheus                   running (virtualbox)

The VM is running...
