Creating a Basic Vagrantfile
Vagrant lets us define our desired development environment. It also leverages existing platforms such as VirtualBox and Docker to provision these environments based on how we define them. In this hands-on lab, we use Vagrant alongside LXC to create a simple Vagrantfile that provisions a single Debian host to our specifications.
