Easy, repeatable development environments using virtualization and provisioning

How do you do Drupal development currently? Have you ever gotten bit by the "worked on my machine" bug when moving from development to live? What if I told you we could make those days a thing of the past, and make it consistently deployable across your team to boot? Developing in a virtual machine can provide us with these benefits and many more.

We will talk about:

• What a virtualized development environment is and how it compares to traditional methods
• How to spin up a quick development virtual machine using Vagrant and Drupal VM
• Things to consider if an off-the-shelf image doesn't fit your needs
