Hi all,

This is part question and part request for comment.

I've become more familiar with Docker and I'd like Vagrant to be patterned 
similarly.

E.g.

docker images

produces a list of images.

vagrant box list

produces a list of boxes. This is good.


However,

docker ps -a

produces a listing of containers,

whereas

vagrant global-status

produces a list of "machines". This is fine.


My question is:

Why do I need to have an environment tied to a directory/folder?
What I'd like to do is:  vagrant up --provision-from-box "some/box" --name 
"some-new-machine-name"
Instead of having to rely on a Vagrantfile to define a "machine".
Plus, when I do want to use a Vagrantfile, I'd like to do the following: 
vagrant up -f Vagrantfile.mymachine

In other words, is it really necessary to have one Vagrantfile per 
directory? to define an environment for a machine?
