        <p>
          Vagrant provides the same, easy workflow regardless of your role as
          a developer, operator, or designer. It leverages a declarative
          configuration file which describes all your software requirements,
          packages, operating system configuration, users, and more.

        <h2>Production Parity</h2>
        <p>
          The cost of fixing a bug exponentially increases the closer it gets to
          production. Vagrant aims to mirror production environments by
          providing the same operating system, packages, users, and
          configurations, all while giving users the flexibility to use their
          favorite editor, IDE, and browser. Vagrant also integrates with your
          existing configuration management tooling like Chef, Puppet, Ansible,
          or Salt, so you can use the same scripts to configure Vagrant as
          production.

        <h2>Works where you work</h2>
        <p>
          Vagrant works on Mac, Linux, Windows, and more. Remote development
          environments force users to give up their favorite editors and
          programs. Vagrant works on your local system with the tools you're
          already familiar with. Easily code in your favorite text editor, edit
          images in your favorite manipulation program, and debug using your
          favorite tools, all from the comfort of your local laptop.
