Version 0.0.15 introduces the ability to boot VMs in parallel. Let’s have an example

Vagrantfile

The following Vagrantfile starts one VM per site.

SITES=['rennes', 'nancy', 'nantes', 'lille', 'luxembourg', 'grenoble', 'lyon']

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
    SITES.each do |site|
      config.vm.define "vm-#{site}" do |my|
        my.vm.box = "dummy"

        my.ssh.username = "root"
        my.ssh.password = ""

        my.vm.provider "g5k" do |g5k|
          g5k.project_id = "vagrant-g5k"
          g5k.site = "#{site}"
          g5k.gateway = "access.grid5000.fr"
          g5k.image = {
             "pool"     => "msimonin_rbds",
             "rbd"      => "bases/alpine_docker",
             "snapshot" => "parent",
             "id"       => "$USER",
             "conf"     => "$HOME/.ceph/config",
             "backing"  => "snapshot"
           }
          g5k.ports = ['2222-:22']
          g5k.oar = "virtual != 'none'"
        end #g5k
      end #vm
    end # each

end

Output

The output shows that the different boot sequences are interleaved.

It took 10s to have all the VMs running.
