To get the most out of this book

This book is aimed at both beginners and advanced users. It will teach you how to install the required software. If you already have this software, please check the versions that you have as there may be differences between the version that you have and the version that we use in the book. You may need to upgrade your software. You will need:

• VirtualBox version: 5.2.10
• Vagrant version: 2.0.4
• Ubuntu box (from Vagrant cloud) version: ubuntu/xenial64 20180510.0.0

It's worth reading through each chapter a few times so you don't miss anything. If you need more information or clarification, the official Vagrant website documentation is fantastic.
