VAGRANT DOCKER FULL

You can refer to my previous post for more basic Vagrant commands. So, generally speaking, if our environment has Vagrant and any proper above virtualization tools like VirtualBox, Docker, etc installed, and we know the Vagrant DSL, it will be easy for us to manage lifecycle of our VMs and containers.

Besides, there are some other official providers such as: VMware provider, Hyper-V provider, and Docker provider. By default, Virtualbox is the default provider of the Vagrant. We can call the unique syntax Vagrant Domain Specific Language (DSL), and the translation engine is Vagrant Provider. Base on that file, Vagrant will stand in the middle, translate that file into the languages that VirtualBox, VMware, Docker can understand and then execute those translated commands. In here, we can use the unique syntax, which provided by Vagrant, to define the operating system we need like CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, etc with 8GB of memory, 2 CPUs, IP address, etc. Vagrant requires us to define the configuration that we need in a file called Vagrantfile. Basically, it needs other virtualization tools with it like VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V, Docker, etc. Vagrant is a great tool to support us to do that.

Or we may want to quickly define a full stack of virtual machines with different configuration specs including number of CPU, memory, network, etc for the whole environments like Dev, QA, UAT, and Production. We may want to provision an virtual machine which includes all necessary development environment for a specific project and share that image with the team for reuse. We may want to quickly create and provision a virtual machine. We often use Vagrant as a tool to facilitate our development environment.
