What is Vagrant?

Vagrant is an open-source tool used for building and managing virtual machine environments in a single workflow. Vagrant saves valuable environment setup time and removes the limitation of programs not working properly across platforms and machines. In this sense, Vagrant is similar to Docker.

How is Vagrant useful?

Vagrant is very simple to use and can be beneficial to a wide array of people. Vagrant helps developers isolate dependencies and configure code across different machines and operating systems. Vagrant provides operations engineers with disposable environments and consistent workflows for developing and testing their management scripts. Vagrant helps designers focus on the front-end without having to worry about environment configuration. However, Vagrant’s uses extend beyond these designations as it provides an easy and efficient way to create virtual environments for all.
