What are the arguments in using vagrant?

Question

PHP

Why raise all this if there are dev servers on Windows that are installed in 2 clicks?
In this case, you need to use ssh and other goodies.
I understand that this is like linux (all sorts of redis there) and so on ... But still. Show me the real advantages of what cannot be done on Windows (so that it would be simpler and easier in terms of deployment). I just never understood the truth of vagrant .Thanks

Answer 1

You will not be able to install a complex infrastructure of several virtual machines with a zoo of technologies in a week. With a vagrant, it will take 5 minutes.

Answer 2

Why raise all this if there are dev servers on Windows that are installed in 2 clicks?

What's the point in these servers, if in a production environment the result of your work can easily not work?)))
One of the most unpleasant reasons: the difference in encodings and errors associated with BOM.
What about not just a stack wider than Apache/MySQL/php? Any Redis, ElasticSearch, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, NodeJS...?

Answer 3

I finally scored on the open server when I killed half a day trying to install imagemagick there.
Linux has one command.
Plus all of the above.
