## What it is
Drupal VM is an Ansible-built local development environment for Drupal, provisioned via Vagrant/VirtualBox or Docker. It installs a full LAMP/LEMP stack (Apache/Nginx, PHP, MySQL) plus optional tools like Drush, Solr, Redis, and XDebug.

## Use cases
- set up a local Drupal development environment
- spin up a Drupal VM with Vagrant and Ansible
- run Drupal in Docker for local development
- provision a LAMP stack for Drupal with Ansible
- replace MAMP/WAMP with a reproducible Drupal dev environment

## When to choose
- you maintain legacy Drupal 7/8/9 projects and need a reproducible local environment
- you want an Ansible-based, fully configurable local LAMP stack
- you prefer VM or Docker-based development over MAMP/WAMP

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Drupal project - the project is deprecated and unmaintained
- you want modern tooling like DDEV or Lando
- you need Drupal 10+ support
