Hi, all,

Can anyone provide a technical explanation as to why it is not appropriate to install Islandora on a public server with Vagrant? Despite all the documentation instructing that Vagrant is for development only, my university's IT department thinks Vagrant makes Islandora more secure for production use. They have also stated "Vagrant is used to keep dependencies separate on machines in the same way Pythons Virtualenv or Ruby's Docker is." Unfortunately, secure networking is outside of my expertise. I'm concerned that Vagrant's virtualization is a poor substitute for the real thing. Before I add hundreds of records to Islandora, I'd like to make sure that I'm building my library's digital collections on a steady foundation. Any advice and/or explanations to give IT is welcome.

Thank you,
Anna
