Hey lucasfbeinhamin!

I would encourage all Splunk users to work locally in docker for mac or minikube!

You could start with the sample environments we released with our official docker container at .conf18!

https://github.com/splunk/docker-splunk

https://github.com/splunk/docker-splunk/tree/master/test_scenarios

https://github.com/splunk/splunk-ansible

Working locally will allow Splunk users to perfect any changes they may want to make to Dev, QA and Prod environments, and allow them to explore more freely and quickly.
