Hello, In my last blog, we discussed <\/span><\/span>docker technology.<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0Today let’s talk about how to do virtualization with<\/span> vagrants.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, the main question is, what is vagrant, why should we adopt it in our working environment & what is the main difference between docker & vagrant?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As you may know about virtualization, Vagrant is also a part of virtualization. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We get a complete base machine with the help of Vagrant in a virtual box<\/a> and it’s up to you that you handle it from the command line or you wanna use its graphical interface.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because Vagrant provides you with both interfaces GUI as well as CLI for virtualization<\/a>, it is very feasible to run on your base machine.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t consume a large amount of hardware on your base machine because it is also a lightweight application.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It uses VirtualBox and VMware, requiring a single command to build, destroy, and create fresh boxes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why should we adopt vagrants for virtualization?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is very easy to handle, I mean it looks like no tangle of wires and you can easily run multiple developments or testing environments simultaneously on a single base machine.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I would also like to tell you that there are so many organizations that are not only working on Vagrant but also have moved their testing servers to it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They are adopting this application because of its reliability and consistency and all the servers are running well on this application.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Even if I talk about my organization, we have also moved our couple of servers on Vagrant and we get positive results, so you can say that I am writing this blog with practical experience.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Vagrant is attractive and reliable because it ensures your environment works seamlessly, even after upgrading your OS or doing a fresh install.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just take a backup of your vagrant box and after installation, export your vagrant box back to your base machine and start your work from where you have left off.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, let’s talk about the main difference between Docker & Vagrant:-<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

It isn\u2019t correct to compare Vagrant and Docker directly because in some scenarios they do overlap and in the vast majority they don\u2019t, so it isn\u2019t a fair comparison in most cases.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some points for knowledge that are mentioned below:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Vagrant is mostly in use for testing purposes while Docker is for developing purposes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2) Vagrant knows how to configure some advanced or non-trivial things like networking and syncing folders. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For example Vagrant knows how to attach a static IP to the machine, you just need to mention the IP address on that Vagrant file which you get after initializing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3) Docker is lightweight because it shares the host machine’s kernel while isolating user spaces, allowing different containers to run on various Linux distributions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4) Vagrant makes its Kernel with its OS while Docker always shares the kernel of the base machine.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"diffrence\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A specific argument that I\u2019ve heard in favor of using Docker instead of Vagrant is:<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Docker is faster<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>:-<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>Once you have a host that can run Linux containers, Docker is definitely faster for running a container than any virtual machine would be. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But launching a virtual machine is like a one-time cost. In production, Docker shines because of its lightweight architecture.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope now it’s clear to see that it is very difficult and I believe It\u2019s not correct, to compare Docker and Vagrant.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Docker can replace Vagrant in specific use cases, but Vagrant generally enhances the Docker experience without hindering it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you find this isn\u2019t true, then <\/span><\/span><\/span>I\u2019m happy to take suggestions to improve my knowledge.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
