They don't solve the same problem; Ansible (as you must know) is for configuration management and remote execution while Vagrant is a set of tools around VMs to help with development. I use them together for almost every project I work on, Vagrant spins up the virtual machine and Ansible sets everything up on it (as well as taking care of provisioning servers when I'm ready to deploy). Small plug for my personal open source project using these two technologies (and many others): https://github.com/johnthedebs/basicproject https://github.com/johnthedebs/basicproject
