Replying to [comment:4 znmeb]:
How is "xxx.ova" dangerous to run out of the context of
Vagrant? I
haven't tried to open one of the Vagrant boxes in VirtualBox or
VMWare
Player, but wouldn't the virtualizer protect me?
Particularly, it has well-known accounts and passwords as standard.
Vagrant by default sets up host-only networking so this is not a big deal.
BTW, I'm not a huge fan of Vagrant - it seems heavily dependent
on
VirtualBox and its "configuration file" is Ruby code!
Whether or not you are a fan, many people definitely are, and many of
those people are the software developers we'd like to entice into using
Fedora. Many of them aren't even (yet?...) using Linux on the desktop,
instead using a Mac or Windows. Having Virtualbox images therefore helps
us spread into a new segment.
However, we also have libvirt (kvm-based) Vagrant as a feature for Fedora
22
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Vagrant, so no one will be tied
to Virtualbox.
