2. Install Vagrant https://www.vagrantup.com/
3. Install plugin
   • vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
   • vagrant plugin install vagrant-disksize
4. Create a vagrant file

   Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.hostmanager.enabled = true config.hostmanager.manage_host = true config.hostmanager.manage_guest = true config.disksize.size = "20GB" config.vm.define "u16" do |node| node.vm.hostname = "u16" node.vm.box = "generic/ubuntu1604" node.vm.network "private_network", ip:"192.168.77.10"     node.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|          vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "2048"]          vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", "2"]       end end config.vm.define "rh7" do |node| node.vm.hostname = "rh17" node.vm.box = "generic/rhel7" node.vm.network "private_network", ip:"192.168.77.11"      node.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|          vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "1024"]          vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", "1"]       end end end

5. Start the VM: vagrant up u16 rh7
6. SSH using vagrant command
   • vagrant ssh u16
   • vagrant ssh rh7
