Web-based software projects are increasingly complicated, with a range of different dependencies, requirements, and interlinking components. Swapping between projects, which require different versions of the same software, becomes troublesome. Getting team members up and running on new projects also becomes time-consuming. Vagrant is a powerful tool for creating, managing, and working with virtualized development environments for your projects. By creating a virtual environment for each project, their dependencies and requirements are isolated, and don't interfere; they also don't interfere with software installed on your own machine such as WAMP or MAMP. Colleagues can be up and running on a new project in minutes with a single command. With Vagrant, we can wipe the slate clean if we break our environment, and be back up and running in no time.
