This looks good, but before I +1 this, what are we doing in the current
special metron cut of centos 6? I'm not familiar enough with why we forked to
understand what we're possibly giving up or exchanging by switching to the main
centos Vagrant image.
> Rebase Dev Environment on Latest CentOS 6

> Key: METRON-1452
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1452
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Nick Allen
> Assignee: Nick Allen
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently the CentOS development environment
> (`metron-deployment/development/centos6`) is based on an image
> [metron/centos_base|https://app.vagrantup.com/metron/boxes/centos_base] that
> has not been updated in 11 months. This image is really just a snapshot of
> [bento/centos6.7|https://app.vagrantup.com/bento/boxes/centos-6.7] from 11
> months ago. The bento/centos6.7 image has not been updated in quite some time
> also.
> On the other hand, the [centos/6|https://app.vagrantup.com/centos/boxes/6]
> image was updated 23 days ago. Presumably these images are receiving critical
> patches for long term support.
> We should base the CentOS development environment
> `metron-deployment/development/centos6` on the
> [centos/6|https://app.vagrantup.com/centos/boxes/6] image so that we can be
> confident that Metron continues to work on the latest patches for the CentOS
> 6 series.
> This would match what we do for the Ubuntu development environment which is
> based on [ubuntu/trusty64|https://app.vagrantup.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64].
> This image continues to receive updates regularly despite the age of the
> Ubuntu 14 release. It was updated just 3 days ago.
