Thank you. I have been looking into that. I also looked into using Packer to build my images. Basically, the flow would be, build images with Packer and then pass them off to Vagrant to be used as vagrant boxes.
Is there a "best" option for configuration the box/vm? Should I do it in Packer? Should I do it with Ansible and vagrant? Is there a cleaner approach that allows me to operate as Infrastructure as Code (make changes to a VM, to ensure I can use future created vms/boxes with the VM's I created? I understand everything conceptually just trying to connect all the dots properly now. Appreciate the help.!
