@bosawt @drorva @f1337 @pjhill for awareness and conversation to develop the solution

@bosawt - Could you give us an idea as to the sense of urgency and/or desired timeline to implementation? Is this something that we can visit in Q4, beginning with a Sprint of Discovery to outline objectives and outcomes?

@jason-gcio Do you have any further integrations with BGS on your roadmap that requires prepared testing?

@jhouse-solvd Since we've figured out a workaround with the current, imminent need to test preprod, this work should only be dependent on future BGS integrations/features. Depending on Jason's answer to the question above, I'd figure that visiting this in Q4 will be totally fine.

ok so to summarize: 1) some VFS applications integrate with BGS 2) BGS requires that all new integrations or integration changes be tested using BGS preprod environment
