Vagrant vs KubeVirt: What are the differences?
Developers describe Vagrant as "A tool for building and distributing development environments". Vagrant provides the framework and configuration format to create and manage complete portable development environments. These development environments can live on your computer or in the cloud, and are portable between Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. On the other hand, KubeVirt is detailed as "Virtual Machine Management on Kubernetes". It addresses the needs of development teams that have adopted or want to adopt Kubernetes but possess existing Virtual Machine-based workloads that cannot be easily containerized. More specifically, the technology provides a unified development platform where developers can build, modify, and deploy applications residing in both Application Containers as well as Virtual Machines in a common, shared environment.
Vagrant and KubeVirt belong to "Virtual Machine Management" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Vagrant are:
- Boxes
- Up And SSH
- Synced Folders
On the other hand, KubeVirt provides the following key features:
