VAGRANT FOR NETWORK ENGINEERS
Vagrant is an alien word for network engineers ,we as network engineer are more close to windows environment than Linux and always try to avoid linux . But time has changed now and with introduction of automation ,SDN ,Devops in networks professional life has made him to come out of windows environment and try Linux for multiple reasons as below:
- Mostly open source projects (open stack, Docker etc. )tools are based on Linux which we as network engineers have to use.
- Network devices are now having Linux as underlying shell.
- Most of the software which are directly or indirectly related to networks are using development environment as Linux.
So when ever we plan to work on linux environment , we just start downloading ubantu on our windows laptop with VM box ..install both and start working.
But there is an environment known as Vagrant that will not help you do all the Linux related task but also provide an environment that helps reduce setup time and allows you to virtualize configurations for various projects.We can set up up a virtual network environment for testing purposes, or setting up a lab, work with python , ansible ,devops tools and much more .
