Vagrant is computer software that creates and configures virtual development environments.[3] It can be seen as a higher-level wrapper around virtualization software such as VirtualBox, VMware, KVM and Linux Containers (LXC), and around configuration management software such as Ansible, Chef, Salt, and Puppet.
Vagrant was originally tied to VirtualBox, but version 1.1 added support for other virtualization software such as VMware and KVM, and for server environments like Amazon EC2.[4] Vagrant is written in Ruby, but can be used in projects written in other programming languages such as PHP, Python, Java, C# and JavaScript.[5][6]
Since version 1.6, Vagrant natively supports Docker containers, which in some cases can serve as a substitute for a fully virtualized operating system.[7]
Vagrant plugins also exist, including vagrant-libvirt that adds support for libvirt,[8] vagrant-lxc that adds support for lxc,[9] and vagrant-vsphere that adds support for VMware's ESXi.[10]
