Oracle’s VirtualBox software is a key tool in software and website development, but can be complicated to configure. Vagrant simplifies the process and enables developers to repeatably build and scrap near-identical Virtual Machines (VM). This post will create a Ubuntu 18.04 Virtual Machine with a local directory mounted on it to make it easier to code on.

AWS CloudWatch allows you to collect log files such as the Apache2 access or error logs from your AWS EC2 instances. This is especially useful if you have a scaling group of instances behind a load balancer.
