+## What is Vagrant?
+
+Using virtual machines running locally on your workstation, Vagrant lets you define the environment your application will run in and quickly iterate on both your application and its environment.
+
+Your Vagrant environment can consist of a single VM or multiple VMs running a wide variety of operating systems listed at http://www.vagrantbox.es (most are unofficial, except those from files.vagrantup.com).
+
+## Vagrant quickstart
+
+Vagrant operates on the file named `Vagrantfile` in your current working directory. Here's an example `Vagrantfile` that sets up an Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) environment:
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
- # All Vagrant configuration is done here. The most common configuration
- # options are documented and commented below. For a complete reference,
- # please see the online documentation at vagrantup.com.
-
- # Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of.
- config.vm.box = "base"
-
- # The url from where the 'config.vm.box' box will be fetched if it
- # doesn't already exist on the user's system.
- # config.vm.box_url = "http://domain.com/path/to/above.box"
-
- # Boot with a GUI so you can see the screen. (Default is headless)
- # config.vm.boot_mode = :gui
-
- # Assign this VM to a host-only network IP, allowing you to access it
- # via the IP. Host-only networks can talk to the host machine as well as
- # any other machines on the same network, but cannot be accessed (through this
- # network interface) by any external networks.
- # config.vm.network :hostonly, "192.168.33.10"
-
- # Assign this VM to a bridged network, allowing you to connect directly to a
- # network using the host's network device. This makes the VM appear as another
- # physical device on your network.
- # config.vm.network :bridged
-
- # Forward a port from the guest to the host, which allows for outside
- # computers to access the VM, whereas host only networking does not.
- # config.vm.forward_port 80, 8080
-
- # Share an additional folder to the guest VM. The first argument is
- # an identifier, the second is the path on the guest to mount the
- # folder, and the third is the path on the host to the actual folder.
- # config.vm.share_folder "v-data", "/vagrant_data", "../data"
-
- # Enable provisioning with Puppet stand alone. Puppet manifests
- # are contained in a directory path relative to this Vagrantfile.
- # You will need to create the manifests directory and a manifest in
- # the file base.pp in the manifests_path directory.
- #
- # An example Puppet manifest to provision the message of the day:
- #
- # # group { "puppet":
- # # ensure => "present",
- # # }
- # #
- # # File { owner => 0, group => 0, mode => 0644 }
- # #
- # # file { '/etc/motd':
- # # content => "Welcome to your Vagrant-built virtual machine!
- # # Managed by Puppet.\n"
- # # }
- #
- # config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
- # puppet.manifests_path = "manifests"
- # puppet.manifest_file = "base.pp"
- # end
-
- # Enable provisioning with chef solo, specifying a cookbooks path, roles
- # path, and data_bags path (all relative to this Vagrantfile), and adding
- # some recipes and/or roles.
- #
- # config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
- # chef.cookbooks_path = "../my-recipes/cookbooks"
- # chef.roles_path = "../my-recipes/roles"
- # chef.data_bags_path = "../my-recipes/data_bags"
- # chef.add_recipe "mysql"
- # chef.add_role "web"
- #
- # # You may also specify custom JSON attributes:
- # chef.json = { :mysql_password => "foo" }
- # end
-
- # Enable provisioning with chef server, specifying the chef server URL,
- # and the path to the validation key (relative to this Vagrantfile).
- #
- # The Opscode Platform uses HTTPS. Substitute your organization for
- # ORGNAME in the URL and validation key.
- #
- # If you have your own Chef Server, use the appropriate URL, which may be
- # HTTP instead of HTTPS depending on your configuration. Also change the
- # validation key to validation.pem.
- #
- # config.vm.provision :chef_client do |chef|
- # chef.chef_server_url = "https://api.opscode.com/organizations/ORGNAME"
- # chef.validation_key_path = "ORGNAME-validator.pem"
- # end
- #
- # If you're using the Opscode platform, your validator client is
- # ORGNAME-validator, replacing ORGNAME with your organization name.
- #
- # IF you have your own Chef Server, the default validation client name is
- # chef-validator, unless you changed the configuration.
- #
- # chef.validation_client_name = "ORGNAME-validator"
+ config.vm.box = "precise64"
+ config.vm.box_url = 'http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box'

+Once you have Vagrant installed, you can run `vagrant init` to create a `Vagrantfile` in your current working directory. Try replacing its content with the lines above and running `vagrant up`. After the VM has booted try `vagrant ssh`. Then log out and run `vagrant destroy`.
+
+## Vagrantfile examples
+
+To see more complicated environments, look at the `Vagrantfile` for these projects:
+
+- https://github.com/pdurbin/greptilian-vagrant
+- https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-openstack_dev_env
+
+## Vagrant snapshots (with Sahara)
+
+- `vagrant sandbox on`
+- `vagrant sandbox commit` or `vagrant sandbox rollback`
+- `vagrant sandbox off`
