Vagrant & Puppet

While working on a project every member of the team can add his libraries, extensions and setup the project as he sees fit.
The problem arises when that process needs to be repeated with other members of the team.
Vagrant, one of the many tools that you might have heard of but did not have a chance to look at, is used to simplify the development setup and allowing identical setup to all the memebers of the team. During the talk I will try to explain why you should use Vagrant/Puppet and what are the advantages/disadvantages

22. SHARED RESOURCES vboxfs can be slow NFS extensions, performance is ok(ish) but they do not work on windows Windows
23. SPEED VM are booted sequentially, that can take time Package installation can take time, especially if apt-get (or similar) is executed before each command
24. DEBUG: Passing arguments to puppet from console is almost impossible
25. DEBUG: Commands in manifest files are not being executed in known order e x e c { " d o w n l o a d - c o m p o s e r " : c o m m a n d = > " c u r l - s S h t t p s : / / g e t c o m p o s e r . o r g / i n s t a l l e r | p h p & & m v c o m p o s e r . p h a r / u s r c r e a t e s = > " / u s r / l o c a l / b i n / c o m p o s e r " , r e q u i r e = > P a c k a g e [ " m a k e " , " c u r l " , " g i t " , " p h p 5 " ] }
26. DEBUG: Error messages can be completelly useless
27. DEBUG: Puppet files can be linted, but without running them you do not know if/when they will fail (and where) Puppet unit testing with rspec-puppet and rspec-system- serverspec
