Vagrant is an open source software used to manage and generate different virtual environments using virtualization technologies such as VirtualBox, VMware and more. Simplifies the management of virtual machine configurations to increase productivity with the help of provisioners. Provisioners primarily allows customization of virtual machine configuration.

Vagrant offers many development environments to DevOps, allowing developers to work across multiple operating systems. An interesting feature of Vagrant is that you can install this tool on almost all Linux distributions. It is essential to know that Vagrant is a command-line generated tool.

Also, you

need to make sure you have a virtualization engine like Hyper-V, VirtualBox, or Docker configuration on your system, as you can’t run Vagrant tools without virtualization software. The Vagrant plugin system is also compatible with KVM and VMware.
