I havent read about Vagrant yet. Is it similar to docker? Vmware? What is the big deal in Vagrant?


In short, Docker manages containers whereas Vagrant manages virtual machines.


Vagrant is just a command line interface to (headless) Virtualbox. That's all.

Makes provisioning and SSH logins a snap.


Vagrant isn't a CLI to virtualbox.

It's a tool for bringing up and managing (generally) headless virtual machines from a defined configuration.

It works with VirtualBox, Parallels and VMWare.


and hyperv! There are also plugins that allow deployment to (say) DigitalOcean.
