An introduction to Vagrant multi-machine

Using Vagrant's multi-machine feature, you can easily manage multiple Vagrant machines in one Vagrantfile. This can be useful if you wish to model your test environment in a similar way to your production environment. You can easily separate servers such as web servers, file servers, and database servers.

In this section, we will look at using multi-machine in the two following use cases:

In the first use case, we will look at managing three Vagrant machines. Here, we will create a basic load balancing setup, where one machine will distribute traffic between two machines that serve up a website.

In the second use case, we will be managing two Vagrant machines. We will create a web-based machine that serves a website and another machine, which runs a MySQL database. The web machine will communicate with the database machine to display data on the web page.
