Selecting a Vagrant box

Now that both VirtualBox and Vagrant are installed on your physical computer, it is time to browse the list of available boxes for Vagrant. Open the list of base boxes from this link: https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search: 

Figure 7.15 – List of all available Vagrant boxes

Note that a base box is a template of a VM and is defined on the Vagrant site as follows:"Boxes are the package format for Vagrant environments. A box can be used by anyone on any platform that Vagrant supports to bring up an identical working environment."

We can write "Ubuntu 18" to list all of the Ubuntu 18 boxes because we next use the bento/ubuntu-18.04 box to create a few Ubuntu 18 VMs.
