Vagrant creator here. What a pleasant surprise to see this pop up on HN this morning (it was unexpected, to be sure). I just want to shamelessly say that if you're more of a book person, the Vagrant O'Reilly book I wrote was just released this week, and it is a great way to get started: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920026358.do Thanks! (And, hopefully as you know, as an author I make barely any royalties on an…
Will there be an update to cover version 2 of Vagrant? The comments seem to say that it only covers version 1 thoroughly.
The book will be fully updated to version 2.0 when that is stable, in the sense that configuration will no longer change. Thousands of companies are already on the latest version of Vagrant and using it without issue.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I was approached by O'Reilly very early. I wasn't even considering writing a book prior to that. However, my experience with O'Reilly has been _fantastic_. I was never writing the book for money, I was writing it for publicity and to help push the project forward. For these reasons, O'Reilly was the clear winner. Additionally, everyone I've ever worked with at O'Reilly has been very professional, and they've been doi…
Okay, most important question time: Do you get to pick the animal? If so, why that particular pigeon?

I'm curious, why the focus on development environments? How does it tie into production and staging environments?
Development environments are the primary focus on Vagrant because that was the pain point it was initially meant to solve, and it does this quite well. The workflow model Vagrant introduces doesn't translate as well into staging/production yet. I'm actively investigating the use cases here and how Vagrant may adapt to it (if at all).
We switched from hand-configured boxes and a long, "full stack local" setup document to chef + vagrant at my current company ( http://parse.ly ). Though it caused some kicking & screaming on the development team, the end result is that every developer has the same development environment, which pretty much matches our deployment environment (in Rackspace Cloud). I also just kicked off our summer intern class, and the…
Has anyone had much luck using Chef solo to provision their Vagrant box AND their production/staging environments? I'm currently attempting this, and it has been kind of a pain in the ass. Chef-solo seems woefully underpowered.
Vagrant is awesome! I use it to test ops changes and puppet deployments. If anyone is interested, I've created two screencasts about vagrant: Episode #4 - Vagrant [1] Episode #5 - Create a Vagrant box with Veewee [2] [1] http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/4-vagrant [2] http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/5-create-a-vagrant-box-wit...

Thanks for screencasts - your episode 5 is missing audio making it harder to grock the context, just heads up in case this is unintended so you can fix
You can download the raw content via these two files, so you can watch locally on your computer (both the same, just different formats):
