Vagrant

I'm Ditching VirtualBox for Something More Linux Native

Introduction # Previously I have talked about how we can use Vagrant to make managing virtual machines easier. You can read about this article here: Let’s Use Vagrant to make Virtualbox less Tedious. While there are many types of virtualization and containerization techniques and tools available when writing this post, I’m specifically talking about virtualization and not containerization.

Let's Use Vagrant to make Virtualbox less Tedious

Introduction # I had known about Vagrant from before. However, it was not until I was doing a Kubernetes course that I encountered it again. The instructor was spinning up and shutting down VMs like a piece of cake. This made me rethink about virtualization again. I have been configuring Virtualbox till now with GUI, and it’s pretty cumbersome to download ISOs, configure network, storage, and whatnot. While it is good for beginners to see what’s going on, it created a drive in me to steer away from it. But the time has changed now. Introducing Vagrant.
