Sitecore Demo environment - A (hidden?) Gem!

Image
A while back, I was in dire need of setting up a demo environment for an existing customer. However, whereas in the past we would simply setup a local environment based on the most recent ZIP file that contained the latest Sitecore version. Just attach your databases, change the pw, create accounts and then import the latest demo script / package that you could find. However (and luckily) times has changed ;) Nowadays we have started to embrace the whole of our composable and cloud-based platforms. Which means we'll need to provision an environment, make sure we have a Head up and running, have content in there, we look at the whole picture and make sure everything fits together really well. SO... I went to part of the community, went to my peers, went to Sitecore and got the same answer every time: Go to the Sitecore cloud portal and spool up a new environment. And that was what I had to work with... : Which is a great platform... No comments there! But this was not what I needed,
