Summary

In this chapter, we learned that Vagrant is a very powerful and flexible tool for helping create virtual environments that can mimic staging and development environments used by your business or application. We looked at the current development state of DevOps, how Vagrant fits into that, and how to use Vagrant as a day-to-day development tool.

In Chapter 2, Installing VirtualBox and Vagrant, we will install Vagrant and its provider, VirtualBox. We will look at how to install these pieces of software on a Windows, Mac, and Linux machine. You will also learn how to find out your system's version and its CPU architecture.
