Benefits

● Broken environment? Destroy & recreate!● Possibility of multiple, incompatible envs● Development environment shared by all:

○ Standardization: Everybody has the same env○ Changes - do once, distribute to everyone○ External teams can easily play with your app/env○ Faster onboarding: git clone + vagrant up○ Safe (reversible) experimentation with config○ 100% documented dev env configuration


Pitfalls

● Provisioning = more work than 1* config● Limitations in Vagrant/VB/host integration● Vagrant occasionally fails to start the VM● Some limitations under Windows
