# Vagrant vs. Terraform
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Vagrant is a tool for managing virtual machines. [Terraform][terraform] is
|
||
|
|
another open source tool from [HashiCorp][hashicorp] which enables
|
||
|
|
infrastructure as code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both Vagrant and Terraform use a declarative syntax to express the desired,
|
||
|
|
final state of a system. Vagrant's focus is on development environments whereas
|
||
|
|
Terraform's focus is on remote APIs and cloud resources. While Terraform has
|
||
|
|
provisioners, they are not as full-featured as those in Vagrant. Vagrant cannot
|
||
|
|
manage cloud resources without third-party plugins.
