VMware

HashiCorp develops an official VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation  provider for Vagrant. This provider allows Vagrant to power VMware based machines and take advantage of the improved stability and performance that VMware software offers.

The Vagrant VMware plugin is now open sourced under the MPL. The code repository for the Vagrant VMware plugin is available on GitHub.

This provider is a drop-in replacement for VirtualBox. However, there are some VMware-specific things such as box formats, configurations, etc. that are documented here.

Please note that VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation are third-party products that must be purchased and installed separately prior to using the provider.

Use the navigation to the left to find a specific VMware topic to read more about.
