Objectives

Provisioning: Beyond the Basics

start the course
use the Vagrant Puppet apply provisioner to provision the guest machine using Puppet
configure a Vagrant Ansible provisioner to provision a virtual machine using Ansible playbooks
use the Vagrant Chef Client provisioner to provision the guest machine using Chef

use the Vagrant Salt provisioner to provision the guest virtual machine using masterless Salt states
use the Vagrant file provisioner to upload a file or directory from a host computer to a guest machine
configure and use Vagrant to provision on the Mac OS X

Provisioning Using Cloud Services

configure Vagrant to use DigitalOcean as a provider to use DigitalOcean droplets as development machines to deploy from Vagrant
configure Vagrant to create virtual machines on Amazon Web Services EC2 and build out VMs in the cloud
use Vagrant to create virtual development machines on Rackspace Open Cloud
use the Vagrant Azure Provider to create and deploy virtual machines to Microsoft Azure

Creating a Custom Box

create a custom Vagrant box from an existing one
create a Vagrant custom box from scratch
describe the steps needed to test Vagrant custom boxes

Using HashiCorp Atlas

describe how to use Atlas to rapidly deploy with a policy enforced and automated workflow
describe how to use Terraform to manage infrastructure resources on cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud
describe how to use Atlas to configure a Vagrant box management pipeline
describe how to find and use existing community Vagrant boxes
describe the steps needed to configure a sharable Vagrant box
describe the steps needed to upload both private and public Vagrant boxes

Advanced Vagrantfile Configuration

configure the Vagrant file to handle more than one CPU
recognize how Vagrant uses memory and configure the Vagrantfile to allocate memory dynamically
identify unconfigured NICs and configure Vagrant to handle them
identify how environment variables and command line arguments can be used in the Vagrantfile

Practice: Provisoning a VM in the Cloud

create a VM and use DigitalOcean as the cloud provider
