Configuration Changes (discussion)

[exaSR]

Current Situation

• The configuration file has
  • one "env" section, where
    1. the deployment/cloud type is defined and
    2. specific settings per tested system have to be set (instante-type, labels)
  • one "systems" section describing the software part for each tested system

Proposal

• allow multiple environments
• reference the environments by name in the systems section.
• or maybe simply define named hardware and software configurations, and a separate list of "test configuration" combining one env and one software for testing

This would allow things like "compare exasol on docker vs exasol on aws vs. exasol on gcp vs. databricks on azure".
