WARNING: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) is currently approaching its End of Life (EOL) and has entered into the Extended Security Maintenance cycle.

  • Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" (version: 12.04.5)
  • Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" (version: 14.04.6)

Up to date Vagrant boxes can be found at https://app.vagrantup.com/kwilczynski.

Some of the features that the images include:

  • Docker and Docker Compose
  • AWS Command Line Interface
  • CloudFormation Helper Scripts
  • Stable drivers for SR-IOV and Elastic Network Adapter (ENA)
  • Backported version of Apt for 12.04
  • More recent version of OpenSSL
  • Native ZFS support (only 14.04 and 16.04)
  • Snapcraft support has been removed from 20.04

Every Vagrant box includes an up-to-date version of VirtualBox Guest Additions, and a very basic system tuning (e.g. network stack, virtual memory, etc.), plus sensible hardening (e.g. Kernel, OpenSSH, etc.).
