Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-871:
--------------------------------------
I've actually had to create quite a lot of "raw" VMs for demonstration or
learning purposes. I seriously doubt vagrant and docker are going to be
acceptable platforms for less-technical end-users any time soon. Furthermore,
the reason I suggest Packer is that it can share the provisioner with Vagrant
with little modification, if any.
> Add a Boxgrinder wrapper to Bigtop

> There are certain improvements that I think can be made to the Bigtop VMs
> that are probably best accomplished by making a simple wrapper around
> Boxgrinder. Improvements include:
> - For including hypervisor-specific extensions, like VMWare Tools or
> Virtualbox Guest additions
> - More polishing of the resulting artifacts, like creating OVA appliances,
> tweak the VMX appliances
> - A good way to separate the boxgrinder configuration for each component
> I've done some tinkering in this direction and will post code for my ideas
> soon.
