Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing virtual development environments. It allows users to create virtual machines and configure their software stacks in an automated, reproducible way. Key features include automated provisioning, networking, SSH access, and treating infrastructure as code that can be version controlled. The demo shows how to install Vagrant, add base box images, initialize a Vagrantfile to define VMs, and run common commands to launch, SSH into, halt, and destroy VMs.

2. Business Bob
frets over his
team’s project...
cloud costs are rising...
testing doesn’t replicate
real environments...
ARRgghhGHHHHHH!

3. I may be smiling on the outside, but
on the inside, I am distraught with
development and testing issues
Sounds like something I can help
with... The name’s Vagrant

4. So, Vagrant what
do you do?
I am a tool for building and
distributing virtualized
development environments.

5. Gee, that’s neat. What
features do you offer?
Coded infrastructure, automated
provisioning, networking, SSH, and
more. I come as a rubygem so if you
pair me with RVM, all the better

6. I’m sold!
Price! It’s Free and Open Source
Automation friendly
Our infrastructure
(net working, images) can be
treated like code and version
controlled

7. Great.
Let’s take a quick tour of
Vagrant

8. ruby (demo with 1.9.3)
latest VirtualBox
vagrant
optional: macports, r vm, chef
gather up some
dependencies and lets
run some commands

9. Demo Time!
$ gem install vagrant
$ vagrant box add web http://
files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box
$ vagrant box add db http://
files.vagrantup.com/lucid64.box
#adding web and db base boxes
$ vagrant init
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh #ssh into your instance
$ vagrant halt
$ vagrant destroy
$ vagrant up #rinse, wash, repeat
$ vim Vagrantfile #define environment

10. My Vagrantfile
config.vm.define :web do |web_config|
web_config.vm.box = "web"
web_config.vm.for ward_port("http", 80, 8080)
web_config.vm.net work("192.168.192.10")
end
config.vm.define :db do |db_config|
owaspWTE_config.vm.box = "db"
owaspWTE_config.vm.net work("192.168.192.11")
end
