+1 good point + maybe mention docker.io too as its the newest way and its popularity is ramping up

Docker certainly is a good one I'll add that in! There is a vm there (vagrant?) - quite honestly I don't know too much about it. If anyone can put in a PR with suggestions in content.json that'd be great! Otherwise, I'll add it in

I'd say to add a section on Vagrant, a section on Virtualbox, and a section on Docker.

So it'd go Virtualbox -> Vagrant -> Docker

But before Vagrant, you need something on Puppet/Chef in order to get the most out of it.

Any suggestions for links? Not an expert here on VM!

Hmmm. There's just a lot of topics to cover within virtualization. It might help to keep things organized if larger categories were added (like languages, services, etc), especially as the number of topics listed grows pretty quickly. For now, I'd say just add Virtualbox, as there are too many interconnected things to do it well without categories

I would argue that VM/vagrant on its own is a valuable enough without config management. To truly leverage config management, you need to be familiar with a ton of software. To leverage virtualization, you just need to understand the concept of mocking environments.

We've added a few in here.
