While Vagrant ships out of the box with support for VirtualBox,Hyper-V, and Docker,Vagrant has the ability to manage other types of machines as well. This is doneby using other providers with Vagrant.

Alternate providers can offer different features that make more sense in your use case.For example, if you are using Vagrant for any real work, VMwareproviders are recommended since they're well supported and generally morestable and performant than VirtualBox.

Before you can use another provider, you must install it. Installation of other providersis done via the Vagrant plugin system.

Once the provider is installed, usage is straightforward and simple, asyou would expect with Vagrant. Read into the relevant subsections found inthe navigation to the left for more information.
