While continuing to explore what the vagrant-vsphere provider is capable of I came across the vagrant-vcloud provider, which had recently released a new version. I work for the vCHS operations group, so I figured it would be interesting to compare the feature differences of the vsphere & vcloud providers.
Over the next few blog posts I intend to cover the following vagrant-vcloud provider related topics:
- Installing Vagant and the vagrant-vcloud plugin on a CentOS 6.x virtual machine in vCloud Directory or vCHS
- Creating a simple vagrant-vcloud Vagrantfile configuration to deploy a vm
- Creating a more advanced vagrant-vcloud Vagrantfile configuration
- Creating a CentOS 6.x .box that is customized for Vagrant and vcloud director
These posts will hopefully explain the steps necessary to get vagrant-vcloud installed and working with a vCloud Director or vCHS environment.
