Windows box with Vagrant

Some people have been asking me about Vagrant and Windows environments so today, I'm going to write about the easiest way to create and configure Windows 2008 R2 box in Vagrant.
The documentation is very fragmented along the network and I will try to unify it in this post.

Starting with Docker

Definition from Wikipedia

Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating system–level virtualization onLinux.[2] Docker uses resource isolation features of the Linux kernel such as cgroups and kernel namespaces to allow independent "containers" to run within a single Linux instance, avoiding the overhead of starting virtual machines.[3]

What about Docker?

Docker reminds me old isolation container technology, such as Solaris Zones, *BSD Jails or even Linux OpenVZ. In fact, it is the same technology. Docker uses LXC linux kernel module that derivates from OpenVZ.
Docker is newer, better and simpler than the old alternatives. It provides you with an API, a Container repository and an easy CLI management interface. These points make Docker really powerful and modern.
