How to test Vault namespaces support as open source library developer?

[mpa...@pivotal.io]

Hi there, 

I'm looking for a possibility for how open source library developers can test Vault's namespace feature in a convenient approach. 

The underlying question is: How to build support and test features that are only part of the enterprise version?

By convenient I mean:

• Not get stuck in sales hell as that's not productive
• Don't get stuck in a manual installation process (a.k.a CI/CI-ready)
• Have something to just spin up (a Docker image, a specific binary, …, as convenient as vault server -dev)

The rationale behind is, that there's a lot of demand for features such as namespaces and a lot of users would like to see feature support in their favorite open source libraries. Without a possibility to test, implementations can be only best effort or rely on that the code does what it should. Neither is satisfactory.

Cheers, 

Mark
