    I solve lots of problems with ARM, We have developed 3 architectures for clients using templates, with the deployment of Azure resources (gateways and load balancers) Its main and best feature is Infrastructure and automation management(extraction load and transformation )ETL, And management of resources via the cloud for platforms, SO that the analytics with its best feature intuitive portal which is very User friendly.

    I would recommend this tool to a colleague looking to create a repeatably deployable local dev environment based on their staging and production environments. I would recommend this mostly for individuals or teams requiring environments with server-side software such as php, et al. There are likely less processor-heavy and smaller tools for simpler projects.

    • Vagrant is decentralized so anyone can make a container package to get a project started. you aren't limited to wordpress, or even one style of wordpress install (you can make a sage.io wordpress environment).
    • Vagrant easily lets you set ports and URLs for local development.
    • I have yet to have a problem with Vagrant, as opposed to MAMP and DesktopServer, which both gave me SQL or other issues.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Templates need to be more flexible with dealing with permissions.

    • Because Vagrant is a low-level tool with many ways to configure it, there is a steep learning curve. You don't just have to learn (or install) Vagrant, but also Virtualbox, Ansible and possibly some Vagrant plugins to keep boxes up to date.
    • Support on Windows doesn't seem great. I'm a Mac guy, so it's been very difficult getting things to work as expected when a developer wants to work on Windows.
    • Perhaps I didn't configure it correctly, but the default shared folders are not the best for performance. There are also frequently weird issues regarding file permissions.

    Vagrant is fast, versatile and does exactly what we need it to do: spin up virtual servers for local development fast and without trouble.

    I liked lando better because lando seemed extremely easy to setup compared to other VM's and it seemed faster though that project was simpler. Virtualbox I ran on windows and it has a gui and has often been slow. The vagrant boxes I used did well but had slightly more problems than lando.

    • Vagrant is free - It requires a bit of extra technical knowledge in terms of setup, but since it costs nothing it's an excellent resource
    • It can be time consuming to learn, but once you get a good handle on it you're in good shape.
