Virtual machines make administrative life so much easier. Not only can you test out new operating systems (without damaging your currently running OS), you can test new features, you can sandbox your web sites, you can develop new security models...the list goes on and on. But just as there are numerous reasons why you would want to run a virtual machine, there are numerous ways to create a virtual machine. Vagrant is an open-source software product for building and maintaining portable virtual software development environments. Vagrant is used to set up one or more virtual machines by:

• Importing pre-made images (called "boxes")
• Setting VM-specific settings (IP address, hostnames, port forwarding, memory, etc.)

Goal

To create 2 VMs using vagrant.

Suggested approach

• Install all of the components
• download appropriate iso
• Create a new virtual machine

Deliverables

upload the vagrant file to the github repo and share it with the mentor (vipul@redhat.com)
