All notes and links in the Description

Provisioning a virtual machine means process of setting up and configuring a virtual machine with the necessary software and resources needed for a particular task or application
Settings on the VM to a desired state for a project or task

Provisioning can be done manually by logging into the VM and making the necessary changes, or
it can be automated using configuration management tools like Ansible, Chef, or Puppet
Automated provisioning can save time and ensure consistency across multiple VMs or environments
Vagrant allows for easy provisioning of VMs using configuration files called "Vagrantfiles" which specify the desired state of the VM

How to Provision the virtual machine

Can add the provision steps:
1. Within Vagrantfile
2. In a new file and provide location in Vagrantfile

Step 1 - Open Vagrantfile and add config.vm.provision block, add it to your Vagrantfile

Step 2 - Choose a provisioner. Vagrant supports several provisioners, including Shell, Ansible, Puppet, and Chef

config.vm.provision "shell", inline: ＜＜-SHELL
Add your provisioning commands here
SHELL

Step 3 - Add the commands you need to setup the VM (Install, Update, Configure)
config.vm.provision "shell", inline: ＜＜-SHELL
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 -y
SHELL

Step 4 - Save Vagrantfile and start virtual machine vagrant up or vagrant reload (to restart machine)
Vagrant will read the Vagrantfile, and run the provisioning commands specified in the config.vm.provision block
From now onwards whenever you make any changes in the provision script can run command vagrant provision
This will only update the new changes (Ensure the VM is up when running this command)

Step 5 - Access your virtual machine vagrant ssh

Adding Provision script a new file and provide location in Vagrantfile:
To use Provision Script from external file:

Step 1 - Create a new file (e.g. provision.sh) and add the scripts to provision the VM

Step 2 - Provide location of the file Vagrantfile config.vm.provision :shell, path: "provision.sh"

Step 3 - If VM is already up can run the command vagrant provision
