Vagrant

Vagrant is a layer of perl scripts written to automate the process of setting up virtual machines.
Vagrant can work with a lot of Hypervisors but internally we only use VirtualBox.
After Vagrant is done setting up the virtual machine Ansible takes over to provision the machine with all the tools a project needs.

Basic commands

• vagrant up Starts up a vagrant box
• vagrant provision Re-provisions the box. This allows you to restart the initial installation process
• vagrant halt Stops the box. You can start it again using vagrant up
• vagrant destroy Removes the box including all it's files from your machine

Passwords
