vagrant status
Current machine states:

app1 running (virtualbox)
app2 running (virtualbox)
db running (virtualbox)

This environment represents multiple VMs. The VMs are all listed
above with their current state. For more information about a specific
VM, run `vagrant status NAME`.
```

Start by reproducing `ansible -m ping all` with the `/etc/ansible/hosts` inventory, then compare its connection settings with `vagrant ssh-config` and the `Vagrantfile`. Check whether the reported configuration is still supported by the repository's examples; done means identifying a reproducible repository issue and documenting the verified correction or closing it as environment-specific.
