Configuring Vagrant Multiple Machines

 centos7 base box was created as per the steps at http://anandbitra.blogspot.com/2015/01/creating-centos-7-vagrant-base-box.html

You can also add a box from publicly available catalog of Vagrant boxes at https://atlas.hashicorp.com/boxes/search

Modify Vagrantfile to configure CPUs, memory, network and mount shared folders. The below configuration will work for Virtualbox.

Open Git Bash
$ cd centos7-vagrant
$ vagrant init anandbitra/centos-7.1
$ vi Vagrantfile

Comment all the lines and add the below lines.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.define "webserver" do |web_config|
     web_config.vm.box = "anandbitra/centos-7.1"
     web_config.vm.hostname = "webserver"

Creating CentOS 7 Vagrant Base Box

Vagrant is a wrapper around virtualization software such as virtualbox, VMware or KVM. In development environment, you can quickly build virtual machines by configuring CPUs, memory, network, and storage.

Git provides a number of UNIX command line tools along with access to Git.
Download and install git from http://git-scm.com/download/win

Download and install Virtualbox from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.26/VirtualBox-4.3.26-98988-Win.exe

Download and install vagrant from https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/vagrant/vagrant_1.7.2.msi
