305-300 Exam Dumps : LPIC-3: Virtualization and Containerization - Exam 305, version 3.0

 Vagrant is a tool that allows users to create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments. Vagrant supports multiple providers, which are the backends that Vagrant uses to create and manage the virtual machines. By default, VirtualBox is the default provider for Vagrant. VirtualBox is still the most accessible platform to use Vagrant: it is free, cross-platform, and has been supported by Vagrant for years. With VirtualBox as the default provider, it provides the lowest friction for new users to get started with Vagrant. However, users can also use other providers, such as VMware, Hyper-V, Docker, or LXC, depending on their preferences and needs. To use another provider, users must install it as a Vagrant plugin and specify it when running Vagrant commands. Users can also change the default provider by setting the VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER environmental variable. References:

 The command vagrant init is used to initialize the current directory to be a Vagrant environment by creating an initial Vagrantfile if one does not already exist1. The Vagrantfile contains the configuration settings for the Vagrant box, such as the box name, box URL, network settings, synced folders, provisioners, etc. The command vagrant init does not execute any provisioning tool, start any box, install Vagrant on a Linux host, or download any box. Those actions are performed by other Vagrant commands, such as vagrant provision, vagrant up, vagrant install, and vagrant box add, respectively. References:

Containerd is an industry-standard container runtime that uses Runc (a low-level container runtime) by default, but can be configured to use others as well1. Containerd manages the complete container lifecycle of its host system, from image transfer and storage to containerexecution and supervision1. It supports the standards established by the Open Container Initiative (OCI)1. Containerd does not require the Docker engine and Docker CLI to be installed, as it can be used independently or with other container platforms2. Containerd is not a text file format, nor does it run in each Docker container or provide DHCP client functionality. Containerd is not the initial process run at the start of any Docker container, as that is the role of the container runtime, such as Runc3. References: 1 (search for “containerd”), 2 (search for “Containerd is an open source”), 3 (search for “It uses rune to start containers”).
