not following much about the "role of vagrant"
I will suggest watch this video as time permits.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWLoTsrFjo0 but, vagrant is a tool that does a nice job.. Take a base box + provision tome tasks = reusable vm are some trade off between starting on a minimal box and getting a complex setup.. vs getting a tailored vm ready to use.. packer can post-process the vms to be used with vagrant, or not.. vagrant can consume vms created with packer or not. is all about flexibility.. more options, always is welcome.
