Improving/speed up Deployment with Vagrant and Virtualbox

[alessandro meyer]

Hey there

I reach out looking for opinions on options we might have overlooked.

We've been using vagrant to power up virtual machines in our local developers CI-environment consisting of 3 machines. So far so good, things work fine but with one major caveat, performance (time it is taking).

Our build and startup procedure consist of the following steps:

- Building our source and packaging it

- Build a template machine with that package in

- vagrant package that template

- unpack the package yet again and build the first node

- start node 2-3 as linked clones

The main problem here is the packaging and the instant repackaging is tedious and not really helping with anything. Is there a simple way to use the built template as the base image without boxing it first? I know i could use virtualbox's direct abstraction right away, but i generally like Vagrants abstraction more as we used it for everything else.

So thoughts ideas?

Thanks

Alessandro
