Docker I get. What's the point of Vagrant? Isn't it easier to just download a premade VBox image and then you don't have to install all the dependencies of Vagrant? Moreover, Vagrant has opinions built-in into an image nothing like a bare OS I get in the cloud.
I use ansible to provision my box into its role.
- ludwigvan 13y agoI think he is using Vagrant to install Ubuntu on a non-Linux machine. Docker seems to work only there.
- kstaken 13y agoVagrant is intended to make starting, provisioning and then destroying and rebuilding virtual machine instances quick and easy. It makes it much easier to bring up VMs in different configurations for different projects and provides a way to store the runtime environment configuration with the code for a particular project. It's primarily a tool for software developers but as it gains more provisioning capability it's roll seems to be expanding and you can use ansible as a tool to provision a vagrant VM.
