What is Vagrant? • Management tool for development Virtual Machines (VirtualBox, VMWare, AWS). • Spins up a VM with a base OS installation. • Allow for automated pre-installation of your dev stack/tools in the box via a Shell Script, Puppet or Chef. (Provisioning) • Work on files in your host OS and have it synced automatically to the VM. Monday, 1 April, 13 

Problems it Solve • Clean separation of your computer's OS and the Dev stack. Closer to the production environment. • Reproducible config that can be shared with your co-workers. No more inconsistent Dev setup. • Automated install - not manually running multiple shell commands and making a mess cos u run them in the wrong order. • Lets you focus on the important things - writing code.
