Detailed Description

Vagrant is an automation tool used to manage development environments using virtualization and configuration management tools. It allows developers and teams to work on their projects and test them in an environment similar to production. Historically, Vagrant had a dependency on VirtualBox, but the newer versions have a plugin system allowing it to work with other virtualization technologies, including libvirt. The plan is to package Vagrant with the support for libvirt (coming as vagrant-libvirt plugin) replacing VirtualBox as a default provider.

Benefit to Fedora

Vagrant is widely used by development teams and is also used to provide pre-built environments by a lot of open-source projects. It would be a good addition to the Fedora development toolchain. Also providing a functional Vagrant package with libvirt provider as a default will help Fedora users to leverage libvirt instead of VirtualBox which is not part of Fedora.

Scope

  • Proposal owners:

There's still some work to be done on the vagrant-kvm plugin to make it work seamlessly, eg. with SELinux and Firewalld, but it should be simple enough. Most of the work is about packaging Vagrant and its dependencies as rubygems RPMs and ensuring integration with the Fedora Ruby environment.
