Vagrant is a powerful tool for managing local development environments. It allows you to create temporary or permanent local development stacks on virtual machines. You can use it to quickly spin up any stack, from a simple LAMP server to a complex, load balanced multi-server network. It is ideal for developing on production-alike environments, which is a best practice no matter what your platform is. This session will cover the basics of installing Vagrant, finding and downloading a new Vagrant box, how to run and access your Vagrant environments.
