"Multiple development environments"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Vagrant?

You can create different virtual machines, each with an OS and a set of tools for your individual needs. For example, you can create a Debian distro with a LAMP stack for when you're developing web-based services, and another distro for development using the MEAN stack, for example.

"Vagrant + Packer.io + Virtualbox is my favorite"

5/5

What do you like best about Vagrant?

With Vagrant, Packer.io and Virtualbox, plus some configuration management tools(such as Ansible), it takes me 10 minutes to create a dedicated working environment and share it with my team members. It just makes everyone's life easy. My typical steps are: 1. using Packer.io to create the original vagrant box. 2. running Vagrant to setup the VM, possibly with some minor configuration. 3. Using Ansible to make more configuration. This workflow is very fit for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vagrant?

Occasionally, you may find some bugs on the newer version. But the online community is very friendly. The author's name is MITCHELL HASHIMOTO. He is very nice. I follow his other projects, such as Pakcer.io. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
