Automated Testnet Deployment

[jacderida]

A list of work related to the automated deployment of testnets. Completing would draw a line under the deployment process for now.

• Complete merge of the ansible-run branch on sn-testnet-deploy
• Automate deployment of the faucet
• Pull and reassemble logs on S3
• Update the GHA workflows to use the new sn-testnet-deploy repository
• Automatically upload a network contacts file
• Reconfigure log forwarding setup to use Filebeat and Logstash
• Basic automated smoke testing to determine a network is good to be made public to the community (check connections, upload small files etc.)

---

Some points from @joshuef

• Use image for build tasks (it's much faster)
• Build faucet w/ build tasks (client/faucet/node should all come from the same commit)
• Automate upload of initial test data (this exists on my branch; you have this with smoke)
• Post a link to slack with contact file + logs location for testnet

---

Non essential work:

• Add the RPC client binary to the release process (not necessary, but would be nice for completion and consistency)
• Add the faucet binary to the release process (without a release we would need to build it during the deploy process)
• Incorporate aarch64 Raspberry Pi into testnet participation for install and general testing
• Incorporate armv7 Raspberry Pi into testnet participation for install and general testing

Notes:
The network contacts file was not deemed strictly necessary and was considered covered by the fact that the testnet-deploy tool outputs a list of peers in the inventory report.
