end```

### Expected behavior
My intention was to create 2 different vbox machine with different memory and cpu settings. 

### Actual behavior
The vbox machines are created but both have the same memory settings (2048 MB), what am I doing wrong here? 

### References
Haven't found any yet

config.vm refers to all of them. what you wanted was master.vm.provider... and slave.vm.provider.

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|

  config.vm.define "master" do |master|
   master.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
   master.vm.hostname = "master"
   master.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.56.11"

   master.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vbox1|

    vbox1.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", 4096]
    vbox1.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", 4]

    end
   end

  config.vm.define "slave" do |slave|
   slave.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
   slave.vm.hostname = "slave"
   slave.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.56.12"

   slave.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vbox2|

    vbox2.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", 2048]
    vbox2.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", 2]

    end
   end

end

had to strip out the ansible parts to run it.

Wow, thank you! It works like charm.
