Atlas supports several features that are useful for Vagrant users. These include:

  • A repository of Vagrant boxes that can be downloaded for use for a number of providers

  • Sharing features that allow Vagrant users to share HTTP services between Vagrant machines

  • Sharing features that allow Vagrant users to access remote Vagrant machines with the SSH protocol
