Installing Vagrant on Ubuntu

Vagrant allows users to create reusable virtualized, container, and cloud environments for testing, development, and even deployment purposes. Vagrant ships with native support for VirtualBox, Docker, and Hyper-V, and in this hands-on lab, we will be setting up both Vagrant and Docker — our desired provider. This will let us create code-based Docker environments that we can use and share multiple times as needed.
