## What it is
Veewee is a command-line tool for easily and repeatedly building custom Vagrant base boxes and virtual machine images. It automates the full build process for VirtualBox, VMware Fusion, KVM, and Parallels providers using transparent, customizable definitions.

## Use cases
- build custom vagrant base boxes
- automate creation of virtual machine images
- reproducibly build kvm images
- verify how a base box was built
- export vm images for virtualbox or vmware

## When to choose
- you need trusted, reproducible Vagrant base boxes built from scratch
- you want to automate VM image creation across VirtualBox, VMware, or KVM
- you prefer transparent definitions over downloading unverified boxes

## When to avoid
- you use Packer, which is the modern actively maintained alternative
- you need cloud or container image builds rather than local VM providers
- you need ongoing updates, as the project has not released since 2018

## Facets
