Overview

Vagrant AWS Provider is a Vagrant plugin that adds an AWS provider to Vagrant, allowing it to control and provision machines in EC2 and VPC.

Installation

vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
vagrant box add dummy https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws/raw/master/dummy.box

Vagrantfile Example

This is an example. More details about Vagrantfile syntax in:

# environment variables). The VM will be created in the configured account/region.

# the instance will be attached to. If using environments, this subnet should be the default private subnet
# of the environment.
