Benifits
Cross-platform
Vagrant is a cross-platform software that works on your favorite device. The solution works on Linux, Windows, Mac, and other platforms allowing you to use your preferred programs and editors without a struggle. By working on your local system, Vagrant enables you to use tools you are already familiar with, modify images using your favorite program, code with ease in a text editor you are accustomed to, and debug using your preferred tools – all from your local computer. Its cross-platform nature allows developers to collaborate and run codes in one environment, against all dependencies, and ensure they are configured the same way.
Unified workflow
In addition, Vagrant automates virtual environment configuration with industry-standard provisioning tools such as Puppet or Chef. Whether you are a developer, designer, or operator you will marvel at the simple, unified workflow that remains consistent regardless of your role. The solution utilizes a declarative configuration file “Vagrantfile” which contains all operating system configurations, software requirements, and users. The file makes it easy for Vagrant to execute each step to fashion development-ready box; a reliable extension that can be copied to another machine to replicate the same Vagrant environment.
Enhanced consistency
Better still, Vagrant offers the same packages, users, operating systems, and configurations, to mirror the production environment. It enforces consistency by giving users the flexibility to utilize their favorite browser, IDE, and editor. It also integrates with the underlying configuration management tools such as Ansible, Chef, Salt, or Puppet, making it easy to leverage the same scripts when configuring Vagrant as production
