As a software developer, I constantly work with a bunch of virtual environments used for testing.
As a contractor software developer, I am asked from time to time to perform an audit of LAMP projects. As project configuration is different, I use a so-called “umbrella repository environment”, which allows me to wrap such projects into a reusable vagrant environment without the need to amend an audited project’s codebase itself.
As a contractor - software developer, I remaster my work environment often, depending on the project requirements. Also, depending on the NDA, sometimes I work remotely on the boxes provided by my client. All in all, it is important for me to get a typical set of work tools quickly. So, let me share here how I get my new environment up and running while I am drinking coffee.
One day I got a task to implement a Vagrant-based scenario for my client. For quite a long time, I’ve been using free VMWare ESX-i hypervisor for my experiments, as it allows up to 4 virtual boxes to be run in parallel for my labs experience.
