Vagrant virtual machine configuration for development environment.

This vagrant configuration can be used to provision a virtual machine locally (using Virtualbox) or remotely on AWS.

What it's doing

Provisioning a development environment.

Running the VM

Requirements for both local and remote VMs

Make sure that vagrant is installed.

Running locally using Virtualbox

Make sure that Virtualbox is installed.
Run vagrant up to start the machine.

Running remotely on AWS

Make sure that the vagrant-aws plugin is installed.
Super secret AWS config is stored in Vagrantfile-private-aws. Update that file with your AWS config.
Use the aws provisioning script to provision the machine: aws/provision

A note on Vagrant-private-aws

A sample Vagrant-private-aws is checked into the repository. If you change Vagrant-private-aws and run git status, it'll show up as modified and unstaged. To suppress that (and stop yourself from accidentally checking in your supersecret AWS config into a public repository), you should run the following command to make git assume that the file is always unmodified:

git update-index --assume-unchanged Vagrantfile-private-aws

What to do next

log into your VM using vagrant ssh
fix bugs, write code, open pull request
