What is Vagrant?

Vagrant is an open-source tool designed to build and maintain portable virtual software development environments. It works seamlessly with various virtualization providers, including:

• VirtualBox
• KVM
• Hyper-V
• Docker containers
• VMware
• AWS

Vagrant simplifies virtualization configuration management, boosting your development productivity. While many hypervisors offer command-line interfaces for provisioning VMs, Vagrant adds a layer of simplicity, interoperability, and a consistent approach. This means you can potentially use it with any virtual environment running on any system.

This course will equip you with the skills to deploy machines effectively for real-world development scenarios.
