While Windows guests look interesting how are people going to get the initial box? Is every individual or organization going to have to create their own box or will there be some way to get a box if you are part of MSDN?
Edit: Bit the bullet and bought myself this bundle pack from Leanpub: <a href="https://leanpub.com/b/vagrant-ansible/" rel="nofollow">https://leanpub.com/b/vagrant-ansible/</a> - Vagrant looks like a great tool to have under my belt. Ansible also looks extremely simple compared to Chef and looks like Vagrant and Ansible compliment each other beautifully.<p>---<p>I guess this a good a place as any to ask, pardon my ignorance. What part of the workflow does Vagrant solve exactly?<p>For example, I'm building a business-class Rails application - normally I have RVM create a gemset specifically for that application. I also have PostgreSQL and MySQL installed locally for any app that needs it.<p>How does Vagrant fit into this workflow, what am I missing? Also, since the 'dev box' is now a virtual machine does that mean I can only ssh into it and edit code with something like Vim? Thanks for the information.

I didn't see anything in the package or box docs.<p>thanks.
I've just started using Vagrant, but am not quite sure how it relates to production.<p>Can I use Vagrant to build out my production server too? Or would I just use Chef/Puppet/Ansible with the same playbook/recipe on both my Vagrant powered VM and non-vagrant powered production machine?
I'm really impressed with Vagrant's documentation: <a href="http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/" rel="nofollow">http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/</a> Super clean, easy to read, and well organized. Nice job!
I could not live without vagrant anymore. Developing inside vm, having a linux env on my windows machine, testing stuff, testing ansible/chef setups with a testing vm... It's so easy :)
