Developer workspace/environment

Background:
With Maximo 7.6.1.x, developers were able to create a local VM on their laptops. This allowed them to work independantly & remotely.

In MAS (specifically Manage), the direction is more of working either on a shared instance or each developer being provisioned a separate manage instance. This however, doesn't work for all organisations.

Challenge:
1. Good internet access is not always readily available.
2. Need to be able to work remotely (ie. on the train).
3. Laptops generally do not have the grunt to run full OpenShift + MAS + installation pre-requisites.
4. Organisations with many developers would find it hard/costly to provision a separate manage instance for each developer.

Need:

Documentation on how to create & run MAS Manage on a laptop in a disconnected environment. Similar to a VM. This should be a repeatable process that allows for environment refreshes to be easily pushed out to developers.
