# Providers
|
|
|
|
While Vagrant ships out of the box with support for [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org),
|
|
[Hyper-V](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/about/), and [Docker](https://www.docker.io),
|
|
Vagrant has the ability to manage other types of machines as well. This is done
|
|
by using other _providers_ with Vagrant.
|
|
|
|
Alternate providers can offer different features that make more sense in your use case.
|
|
For example, if you are using Vagrant for any real work, [VMware](https://www.vmware.com)
|
|
providers are recommended since they're well supported and generally more
|
|
stable and performant than VirtualBox.
|
|
|
|
Before you can use another provider, you must install it. Installation of other providers
|
|
is done via the Vagrant plugin system.
|
|
|
|
Once the provider is installed, usage is straightforward and simple, as
|
|
you would expect with Vagrant. Read into the relevant subsections found in
|
|
the navigation to the left for more information.
