[VMware provider](/vmware) page on

This provider is a drop-in replacement for VirtualBox, meaning that every
|
|
|
|
|
VirtualBox feature that Vagrant supports is fully functional in VMware as
|
|
|
|
|
well. However, there are some VMware-specific things such as box formats,
|
|
|
|
|
configurations, etc. that are documented here.
