Providers

A provider adds support for creating a specific type of machines. Vagrant comes with three providers:

  • VirtualBox allows to create virtual machines with VirtualBox.
  • Hyper-V allows to create virtual machines with Microsoft Hyper-V.
  • Docker allows to create Docker containers.

Alternative providers are maintained by third parties or sold by HashiCorp. They allow to create different types of machines, for example using VMWare.

To find out how to develop your own provider, see Plugin Development: Providers in Vagrant documentation.
