While there is no perfect vagrant box setup that will fit the needs of everyone, there are many out there that do the job brilliantly. Inspired by the amazing Laravel Homestead & ScotchBox, Magestead will fit the needs of most Magento developers who may also work in multiple different frameworks and don’t want the hassle of switching boxes.
Magestead is designed to be configurable like Homestead using the YAML configuration while maintaining a much easier per project workflow that ScotchBox offers. The most obvious change in Magestead is the switch from an Ubuntu box to a CentOS box. This switch is to accommodate the developers who work in a Red Hat/CentOS environment everyday and prefer the package managers and comfort of a system they know.
With a CentOS 6.6 core server using NGINX, PHP 5.6, MySQL 5.6, Redis & Memcached, you know you have a development environment with performance!
