I think the best is get the person sharing this task with you to write down the goals and the success criteria.
Otherwise you will end doing a lot of loops and he may never be happy. This is what I understand. You are being ask to create a process that the result will be a Vagrant box. Because they told you to use "vagrant save" that tells me the they *may* be referring to vagrant package to create a new vagrant box. So, assuming what I understand is correct the workflow they are telling you is. - Create a Vagrant project that have all the dependencies, etc your company use - Run that every night - create a vagrant box every night - put that box into the company web server when you are there, I will suggest move the task into packer that is a more fit tool to create vagrant boxes, but to get you started, start doing what they are suggesting. but get them to show you more, and guide you. If you want to learn vagrant, happy to help you started: - Install virtualbox - Install latest vagrant from downloads in vagrantup.com then do: mkdir precise64 cd precise64 vagrant init -m hashicorp/precise64 vagrant up done, your fist vagrant is created Then read: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/getting-started/ https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/why-vagrant/ And play here: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/provisioning/ Good luck! Feel free to came back any time you have questions :D Alvaro.
