Consistent Development Environment with Vagrant and Chef
4 likes1,521 views
The document discusses using Vagrant and Chef to create consistent development environments. Vagrant allows creating virtual machines that match production environments. Chef automates server configuration and ensures consistency across environments. Using these tools provides isolation, mirrors production, enables testing scripts locally, and speeds onboarding. The document demonstrates Vagrant and recommends Chef for its code reuse features, ability to access system attributes, search functionality, and interaction via Knife commands.
