Title: I&#x27;ve been using Vagrant for about 5-6 years now to automate the setup of development environments. It was a great tool for spinning up environments that were similar to production and easily shared across team resources that jump in and out of projects.<p>The number of issues we&#x27;re dealing with daily with Vagrant is rising. The productivity boost it provided is entirely gone and the support is taking a substantial amount of time.<p>We love Hashicorp and, I don&#x27;t mean this to be a slight against them, but I&#x27;m curious what alternatives people are using to:<p>- Automate building dev environments (Linux-based) with dependencies etc.
- Ensure that your development environment is similar enough to production to reduce&#x2F;eliminate potential issues moving to production.<p>I have done some googling around, but it still appears that Vagrant is the top dog in this space. Willing to accept that it&#x27;s us and not the tool, but issues with NFS sharing, port collisions, support for Fusion, deprecations with legacy Chef setups and more is just more than we can handle right now.<p>Bonus points for tools that can be re-purposed for automating deployment as well (Terraform). Parity between development and other environments is important.
