Managing virtual machines with Vagrant
Vagrant is a command-line tool that provides you with a configurable, reproducible, and portable development environment using VMs. It lets you define and use preconfigured disk images to create new VMs from. Also, you can configure Vagrant to use provisioners such as Shell scripts, Puppet, or Chef to bring your VM into the desired state.
