Overriding provisioning via the command line

There may be instances where we want to restrict or enforce the execution of provisioning or even a specific provisioner within a project. The following commands are all executed from the host machine:

• We can cancel a running provision by pressing CMD + C at the terminal.

• We can instruct Vagrant to rerun provisioning on a VM using the vagrant provision command.

• We can also add --no-provision to the up command to instruct Vagrant to not run the provisioning tools when performing the up action, for example, vagrant up --no-provision.

• By default, Vagrant will only provision when it first boots a machine. For subsequent boots of an existing machine, Vagrant knows that the machines are configured, and it will not provision them. We can override this with the --provision option, for example, vagrant up --provision.

• We can also provision with just a specific provisioner should we wish, for example, if we want to instruct Vagrant to just run Puppet in standalone...
