Hands-On DevOps with Vagrant

Installing VirtualBox and Vagrant

VirtualBox is a very important piece of software, which we refer to as a provider. Its job is to do the heavy lifting in creating and maintaining virtual machines and environments. Vagrant is essentially a wrapper around a provider (in our case, VirtualBox) and exposes a powerful API that allows you to create and manage virtual machines through code and configuration, such as the Vagrantfile.

Once VirtualBox is installed, we will have very little to do with it. It will sit in the background and await commands from Vagrant to manage virtual machines.

In this chapter, we will start to get our hands dirty with Vagrant. We will look at the following topics:

  • Finding the version of your OS
  • Finding your CPU architecture
  • Installing VirtualBox on Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • Installing Vagrant on Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • Running Vagrant via the command...

Installing VirtualBox and Vagrant on Windows

In this section, you will learn how to install VirtualBox and Vagrant onto a Windows environment, how to find out what your CPU architecture is, and what version of the Windows operating system you are running. We will use an Enterprise edition of Windows 10 64-bit as our example operating system and computer setup.

I found the book very easy to read. I usually read a chapter or two when reading a technical book. Just enough to get the information I need before putting the book down. This book was so easy to read that the author kept my interest from page one to the end. I found the chapter on chef a little dry, but the chapters on puppet and salt were very easy reads that held my interest. I read Mitchell Hashimoto's book on Vagrant some years ago and the documentation on the Hashicorps website. Still, I found Alex Braunton's book to be well thought out, clear, and concise. Alex Braunton should write another DevOps book soon because he has the talent for it.

Having dabbled with KVM, Xen, Virtualbox and VMWare just to test and play around with linux recipes became tiring when repeating exercises & server config tests. Therefore in this book when playing with recipes whilst learning vagrant you get the advantage of doing more in a short time including testing configs more easily as you don't have to mess around a lot configuring your VMs. In short get this book as part of your devops foundational knowledge as it will boost your tech skills to warp speed.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
