The `terraform` folder has provisioning code to spin up a Nomad cluster on AWS. The tests work with the `NOMAD_ADDR` environment variable which can be set either to a local dev Nomad agent or a Nomad client on AWS.
The workflow when developing end to end tests locally is to run the provisioning step described below once, and then run the tests as described below.
Provisioning
============
You'll need AWS credentials (`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`) to create the Nomad cluster. See the [README](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/master/e2e/terraform/README.md) for details. The number of servers and clients is configurable, as is the configuration file for each client and server.
After completing the provisioning step above, you should see CLI output showing the IP addresses of Nomad client machines. To run the tests, set the NOMAD_ADDR variable to one of the client IPs.
