lxc: This folder holds a Vagrantfile and supporting files to create an environment for working with LXC (pronounced "lex-see"). LXC is a set of tools for working with OS containers. The provisioning is handled via Ansible (pre-2.0) installed on the Vagrant host.
lxd-ansible: In this folder you'll find a Vagrantfile, instructions, and other files to help work with LXD (pronounced "lex-dee"), a new daemon and CLI for working with LXC-based OS containers. The provisioning is handled via Ansible (pre-2.0) installed on the Vagrant host.
lxd-ovs: Use the Vagrantfile and other files in this directory to work with LXD and Open vSwitch (OVS) 2.3.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. Use the instructions from the lxd directory to set up containers and container images. The provisioning is handled via shell scripts.
lxd-shell: In this folder you'll find a Vagrantfile, instructions, and other files to help work with LXD (pronounced "lex-dee"), a new daemon and CLI for working with LXC-based OS containers. For this environment, the provisioning is handled via shell scripts.
openstack-cli: This folder contains the files for a Vagrant environment that spins up an Ubuntu box with all the OpenStack CLI clients pre-installed. The provisioning is handled via shell scripts.
ovs-geneve: This folder contains a Vagrant environment and supporting files for compiling Open vSwitch (OVS) from source and using Geneve tunneling to connect network namespaces on two different VMs.
ovs-multi-br: In this folder is a Vagrant environment, Ansible playbook, and related data files for experimenting with multiple Open vSwitch (OVS) bridges.
photon-ansible: In this folder is a Vagrant environment for using Ansible with VMware Photon; specifically, for using Ansible to configure Photon's pre-installed Docker daemon to listen over a network socket. Naturally, the provisioning is handled via Ansible (pre-2.0) installed on the Vagrant host.
photon-cloudinit: This folder contains the files to spin up VMs, using Vagrant and customized via cloud-init, running the VMware Photon Technical Preview. The provisioning is handled via shell scripts.
photon: This folder contains the files to spin up an instance of the VMware Photon Technical Preview using Vagrant. No custom provisioning is provided in this environment.
README.md: This document that you're currently reading.
rkt: This folder contains the files to work with rkt (version 1.4.0), the CoreOS implementation of the App Container (appc) specification, on Ubuntu 14.04. Provisioning is handled by Vagrant's file and shell provisioners.
ssh-bastion: In this folder is a Vagrant environment, leveraging multiple VMs, that allow you to work with SSH multiplexing via an SSH bastion host. The provisioning is handled by Vagrant's file and shell provisioners.
swarm-consul-openstack: This folder contains files to create a Consul-backed Docker Swarm cluster on OpenStack. THIS ENVIRONMENT IS NOT YET FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
swarm-etcd2-photon: This folder contains a Vagrant environment and associated support files to turn up an etcd-backed Docker Swarm cluster where the Docker Engine instances are running on VMware Photon. Provisioning is handled by Ansible 2.x.
terraform: This directory provides an example Terraform configuration (in both Terraform format as well as JSON format) designed to work with OpenStack.
ubuntu-generic: This folder contains a Vagrant environment for spinning up a generic 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 VM. Note there's nothing special going on here---just a plain, generic, Ubuntu VM. No custom provisioning is provided in this environment.
vagrant-aws: This folder contains a Vagrantfile and supporting files for using Vagrant to spin up an instance on AWS. This allows you to use Vagrant to spin up and destroy an instance on AWS.
vagrant-docker-json: Like vagrant-docker-yaml, this folder is an extension of "vagrant-docker" in that it provides the ability to specify, in an external JSON file, a list of Docker containers to be instantiated by Vagrant. The provisioning is handled by Vagrant's built-in Docker provisioner.
vagrant-docker-yaml: This folder is an extension of "vagrant-docker" in that it provides the ability to specify the list of Docker containers that Vagrant will create in a separate YAML file. The provisioning is handled by Vagrant's built-in Docker provisioner.
vagrant-docker: In this folder you'll find Vagrantfiles and supporting documents for using the Docker provider in Vagrant to turn up Docker containers. The provisioning is handled by Vagrant's built-in Docker provisioner.
vagrant-json: The files in this folder illustrate the use of an external JSON data file to drive Vagrant.
vagrant-multi-platform: This Vagrant environment demonstrates one possible way to create a Vagrantfile that supports multiple virtualization platforms without any edits needed across platforms.
vagrant-openstack-multi: This folder is similar to vagrant-openstack, but supports Vagrant operations on multiple instances.
vagrant-openstack: This folder contains a Vagrantfile and supporting files for using Vagrant with the OpenStack provider. This allows you to use Vagrant to provision and destroy an instance in an OpenStack cloud.
