Multiple providers in a single vagrant file?

Question

I've got a vagrant file that builds a local VM. I want to add the EC2 provider and have the option of either provisioning a local VM or one on EC2.

Can I create configs for multiple providers in the same Vagrantfile and somehow choose which to run when I do vagrant up?

Answer 1

You can use a multi-vm environment, where every VM can be provisioned with a different provider and you can choose on commandline which one you want to vagrant up <machine>.

Answer 2

add box for each provider

> vagrant box add precise64 http://file.vagrantup.com/precise64.box
> vagrant box add precise64 http://file.vagrantup.com/precise64_vmware_fusion.box

and your Vagrantfile should look like

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box="precise64"

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
    v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "2048"]
  end

  config.vm.provider "vmware_fusion" do |v|
    v.vmx["memsize"] = "2048"
  end
end

then create on each provider using following commands

> vagrant up --provider=virtualbox
> vagrant up --provider=vmware_fusion
