What is the difference between Vagrant and VirtualBox?

The question is about Vagrant

Answer:

The difference between Vagrant and VirtualBox lies in their roles and functions. VirtualBox is a virtualizer that can create and run guest virtual machines on the host system, which enables several operating systems to be operated on one physical machine.
Vagrant is the tool that manages and automates development environments. Vagrant uses VirtualBox-or other providers, including Docker-to create and configure VMs, adding layers of automation. In Vagrant, developers define their environment setup inside a Vagrantfile, replication and sharing of environments becomes fairly easy. While VirtualBox handles the virtualization process, Vagrant will handle how to set up and keep the environments consistent.
