Introduction to Vagrant
Vagrant provides a mechanism to install and configure a development, test, or production environment. Vagrant works with various virtualization applications such as VirtualBox, VMware, AWS and so on. All installation, setup information, configuration, and dependencies are maintained in a file and virtual machine can be configured and brought up using a simple Vagrant command. This also helps to automate the process of installation and configuration of machines using commonly available scripting languages. Vagrant helps in creating an environment that is exactly the same across users and deployments. Vagrant also provides simple commands to manage the virtual machines. In the context of CoreOS, Vagrant will help to create multiple machines of the CoreOS cluster with ease and with the same environment.
