Download Virtualbox from official site:

Vagrant allows you to script the Virtual Machines, so that all tasks related to create and destroy VM can be done through files and command line. Along with that, several tedious steps like setting up a NFS Share are greatly simplify using Vagrant.
Download Vagrant from the official site:

And follow the install instructions for your Operating System.

As you know, push passwords in clear code to a repository is a bad practice, even for environments intended for development. Sensitive information is encrypted using Ansible Vault. To allow ansible to decrypt the information you just need to add a file to the home of ansible_env folder. Example:
Code Block |
---|
cd <ansible_acsenv>
echo "Password" >> .vault_pass |
Ask your instructor for the real password to be use here.
The cycle for a dev environment with virtual machine: build→ provision→destroy

To provision our new created VM we will use ansible playbooks. It does not matter how many machines are active at a given time, ansible will provision the machines that are running at a given time. Be careful if you use Virtual Machines in your local hosts for other purposes. The following comand will try to provision all machines in runnig state.
Code Block |
---|
ansible-playbook -i vagrant.py vagrant_provision.yml |
You can destroy you VM to create a new one. These can happed when a different acs_binaries is needed.

❯ vagrant status acs01 Current machine states: acs01 not created (virtualbox) |
Great!
Once theTo be added soon.
