Hi Seth, I am really new to these configuration management tools so thanks a lot for your input!
So Librarian is nothing more than cookbook management tool and Chef only installs recipes as instructed. As a followup question, I find that there is a plugin called vagrant-librarian-chef (https://github.com/jimmycuadra/vagrant-librarian-chef). What is the use case for this? I wonder if you have any good resource on the use/best practice of vagrant+chefsolo?
