Vagrant is computer software for creating and configuring virtual development environments. It can be seen as a wrapper around virtualization software such as VirtualBox, KVM, VMware and around configuration management software such as Ansible, Chef, Salt or Puppet.
Vagrant was created by HashiCorp which is a leader in DevOps with a Tao which underlies their product portfolio and technology.
While it was in beta, it was great to be able to create a vagrant box, and then vagrant share that box publicly even when the machine was located internally (MG project with MediaWiki vagrant). Haven't used it since, so need to reevaluate how vagrant-share works now for future projects. No doubt vagrant will continue to be extremely useful.
