I use Vagrant regularly for development work and it is a good tool, however, it does still have a lot of issues. I have also gotten the sense over the years that HashiCorp developers could have been more responsive to users and addressed more of the issues that mattered most to the user base.
And now, with a new, complex, and broad product introduced...I just don't have a lot of confidence that the quality is going to be there or that it will ever fulfill the very large goals that are outlined.
I would prefer they focused on Vagrant and made it a really outstanding, polished tool.
- kbenson 11y agoMaybe they thought the best path to a really outstanding, polished tool was to approach the problem slightly differently and Otto is their solution? If that's the case (I really have no idea), maybe rather than devoting too much time to fixing vagrant they decided to limit the time spent on that to further what they thought is a better overall solution?
- dlandis 11y agoYeah unfortunately I think it's more about tackling entirely new problems in addition to the problems Vagrant already solves.
- mastazi 11y agoAccording to the blog post Otto is actually built on other tools including Vagrant (which provides the dev environments) and Terraform (which provides the infrastructure management), so I think they will keep actively developing Vagrant in the future.
