Vagrant at IQSS: The Tech Talk

What is Vagrant?

"Development environments made easy. Create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments." -- http://vagrantup.com

"Using virtual machines running locally on your workstation, Vagrant lets you define the environment your application will run in and quickly iterate on both your application and its environment." -- http://wiki.greptilian.com/vagrant

Example: DVN install demo

https://github.com/dvn/dvn-install-demo

From https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/wRxRSGE8VpQ/zgU6AOHVRZwJ

"If you want to try an experimental, as yet unsupported, DVN on VM configuration, try this: https://github.com/pdurbin/dvn-vagrant . It uses Virtual Box and CentOS 6 and a Vagrant script..." -- https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/-dE_1rt6nlg/Qoy6bsIlKn0J
