![]() For this post, and others, we’ll stick to VirtualBox since it’s a free option and works on multiple operating systems. We only worry about our Vagrant configuration, not the platform our virtual machines are running on. Using different providers is pretty easy (AWS takes a little more setup), and Vagrant handles each providers system for you. ![]() Vagrant is a front end to VirtualBox, but it will also work with VMWare, Hyper-V, Amazon Web Services, Docker and more. The vagrant up command will download the base virtual machine file from Vagrant’s Atlas site, start the image in VirtualBox, and do any server configuration once the VM starts. The second command tell Vagrant to start the VM. The first command tells Vagrant that we want to create an image from the template puppetlabs/centos-6.6-64-puppet from Puppet Labs. Here is an example of how to use Vagrant to start a new Puppet Enterprise server on Centos 6: vagrant init puppetlabs/centos-6.6-64-puppet Vagrant also simplifies the creation and management of virtual machines on your computer. You can use Vagrant to create your own VM, or use someone elses VM. Vagrant is a tool that creates the same virtual machine for you every time. ![]() Getting the same base virtual machine every time requires attention to detail and doing the same steps, over and over. While setting up new virtual machines is easy, it does require many steps like downloading the base image, setting up users, installing software and more. With the PeopleSoft Images, we can quickly set up a new demo environment and test new features. Using VirtualBox and your computer, we can set up a VM and test anything. As an admin, creating and testing new software with virtual machines has made our jobs easier. ![]()
