Vagrant Training

Course Details

Vagrant is an open source software used to create and manage virtual development environments. It can be considered a wrapper around virtualization software such as VirtualBox and configuration management software such as Chef, Ansible, and Puppet.

Vagrant allows you to use virtualization and cloud technologies to power faster, efficient, and sharable development environments. It duplicates the development environment to allow users to easily share and combine data on different machines and also take care of security concerns.

Vagrant Training Overview

In this training course, you learn the basic concepts of what vagrant is, how to setup vagrant, and performing networking in vagrant. Later on, you extend the knowledge through vagrant with plug-ins, troubleshooting and debugging it, vagrant environment variables and configuration reference.
