I haven't seen how it has evolved, but historically it has been basically the same as our Docker provider: http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/docker/index.html

The other comments at this level saying Vagrant spins up a full VM are incorrect. Vagrant will spin up boot2docker if it isn't running (which Fig requires as well), and then just execute Docker to run containers. On Linux, Vagrant doesn't spin up a VM at all; it just executes Docker directly.

I'm not here to talk about Fig vs. Vagrant, since I think this thread should be about congratulating Fig to 1.0, but I did want to make sure that some facts aren't incorrect.

Right, I really phrased that poorly. I use vagrant on a windows machine in the office and various macs at home. Without the LXC, fig & docker don't really provide anything above what I'm using. Were I to move to linux, then this would have some advantages. Thanks for the clarification and a fantastic product.
