Common Pain Points

We’re stuck using Windows laptops

Our development, test, staging and production environments don’t match

We don’t have time to train up the new guy/gal

We want to use our favorite IDE’s / Editors

We need a simple way to deploy our application to the cloud

Enter…..Vagrant (pretty cool)

Vagrant helps manage virtual machines

Vagrant is FOSS Vagrant keeps everyone

working in the same environment, no matter what kind of development machine they use

It’s easy peasy – here’s a simple demo!
