Description:

Vagrant offers scripted provisioning and deployment of virtual
instances. While VirtualBox is the main target, future versions may
support other hypervizors as well.

The vision of the project is to create a tool to transparently manage
all the complex parts of modern development within a virtual
environment without affecting the everyday workflow of the developer
too much. A long term goal is moving all development into virtualized
environments by making it easier to do so than not to. Additionally,
work is ongoing to have Vagrant run identically on every major
consumer OS platform (Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows).
