Vagrant file example

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
    config.vm.box = "jason/centos7"                     # Which OS to install
    config.vm.hostname = "linuxsvr1"                    # Hostname of the VM
    config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.2.3.4" # Assign static ip to VM
    config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|             # Which virtualization software to use
        vb.gui = true                                   # Whether to use headless mode (no GUI only command line) or not
        vm.memory = "1024"                              # How much memory to allocate to vm
    end
    config.vm.provision "shell"/, path: "setup.sh"      # Provisioning allows you to automatically install software (Uploads setup.sh to vm and executes it)
end
