Having images in the cloud means that one line in a Vagrantfile obtained from GitHub is all that’s needed for Vagrant to bring up a Windows machine. The VMware image can then be converted to a box image in a format used by Vagrant (from HashiCorp) so that it can be made available for download from a repository of Vagrant box images called Atlas that HashiCorp has made available.īTW, HashiCorp also has a licensed utility that dynamically updates the Vagrant file when changes are made in the VMWare image. We then keep the image small by removing unneeded files and defragmenting the disk. Agents for accessing the machine within Azure and other clouds is added, called WMF (Windows Management Framework).
