Introducing Vagrant

Have you ever faced or heard about below problems:
  • Environment setup on multiple systems whether it is development, staging or QA which includes multiple server setup, software and database installation as well as their configuration. We all agree on one point that traditional way of Environment setup is very time consuming and effort taking.
  • The process/scripts for setting up the server / database / software that worked in one system are now failing in another. I am referring to “it does not work on my machine” excuse that developers used to raise for any kind of issues. :-)
  • New member joins the team - you have to again setup the same development environment; you have to recall the complete setup process. Even if you are happy and ready to set up the development environment in traditional way, if it is not properly documented and you miss a minor thing then boom...red flag!
