Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to create, a base box for our Vagrant projects from scratch. This can be used to create base boxes from operating systems, which don't necessarily have boxes available to download.

Now, we know how to create, manage, distribute, and even build development environments from scratch for our projects!

Next, we will take a look at Vagrant Cloud, which lets us search for and discover different base boxes as well as letting us distribute our own box—either to the public or to a private team. Vagrant Cloud also has the functionality to allow us to share our Vagrant development environment with others—be that to demonstrate the functionality we have built on a Vagrant-supported project, or to provide SSH access to a team member who can help us with support issues.
