![]() ![]() Ultimately you end up writing a piece of code - the almighty Vagrantfile - and that is what Vagrant reads in to figure out its marching orders. So ultimately, what does this mean? If you’ve kept up with the DevOps world of the past few years this should all sound pretty familiar - Vagrant allows us to deploy and manage virtual machines in an automated fashion using Infrastructure-as-Code. ![]() With an easy-to-use workflow and focus on automation, Vagrant lowers development environment setup time, increases production parity, and makes the “works on my machine” excuse a relic of the past. Vagrant is a tool for building and managing virtual machine environments in a single workflow. I’ll let Hashicorp explain it themselves: Vagrant is a piece of free-and-open-source software (FOSS) that I’ve been using for around 1.5 years now - and it’s absolutely changed how I do things both at work and at home. I’m just a huge nerd that enjoys the Hashicorp ecosystem for automation! » WHAT IS VAGRANT? Have you ever decided to nuke your penetration testing machine because it got too polluted? Maybe you needed multiple configurations for different clients or use cases (such as web app hacking, hardware hacking) that needed specialized tools? Or maybe you’re the type of person who needs to quickly initialize a small test network that has a few clients, such as spinning up an instance of a small Caldera network? If any of these situations sound frustrating and tedious, it might be time to migrate your workflow over to include Vagrant!Īs you go throughout this tutorial, keep in mind that I’m self-taught - I’m by no means a DevOps expert nor do I know everything there is to know about Vagrant.
