czhoward/aws-workbox

A Vagrant box packed with some of my favorite AWS tools. Using for training others. Work in progress.

aws-workbox

• Uses Packer to build a base Ubuntu 16.04 box with lots of nice AWS and DevOps-y tools.

Usage

• Install Virtualbox
• Install Vagrant

Run the following:

vagrant init kmcquade/aws-workbox \
  --box-version 0.0.1
vagrant up

Building from scratch

• Install Packer

Run the following:

packer build -on-error=ask ubuntu1604.json

Once that completes, run the following:

vagrant up

Notes

Local .iso usage

I removed this from the original iso_urls line in the Packer JSON file. I can add it later.

    "iso/ubuntu-16.04.5-server-amd64.iso"

VagrantCloud in future

When I want to eventually push this to VagrantCloud, I should add this to Packer:

,
      {
        "type": "vagrant-cloud",
        "box_tag": "geerlingguy/ubuntu1604",
        "version": "{{user `version`}}"
      }
