• This is a quick copy and paste job(weekend hacking), you should not consider it anything but experimental right now
• But I wanted to share the idea already with others

this is alpha sofware . Don't trust it:) And don't complain if it removes all your EC instances at once....

• Vagrant is great for testing machines on your local machines
• Fog is a great fog library for managing cloud systems

Without those two, this project would not be possible. Kudos to the authors!

This project tries to combine both:

• Because your local machine might outgrow your complexity your local machine can handle
• use the same vagrantfile for local dev, and cloud devel

• I could probably have integrated with vagrant code but this would have taken me longer to understand vagrant code
• I didn't want the dependency on virtualbox
• The machines it creates will have the prefix as defined in the Mccloudfile, so this should not pollute your stuff

• provision to other providers than ec2
• try to stay fully compatible with Vagrantfile

$ cat $HOME/.fog

:default:
  :aws_access_key_id: 
  :aws_secret_access_key: 

$ mccloud init

This will create a Mccloudfile

	Mccloud::Config.run do |config|
	  # All Mccloud configuration is done here. For a detailed explanation
	  # and listing of configuration options, please view the documentation
	  # online.

	  config.mccloud.prefix="mccloud"

	  config.vm.define :web do |web_config|
	    web_config.vm.ami = "ami-cef405a7"
	    web_config.vm.provider="AWS"

	    #web_config.vm.provisioner=:chef_solo
	    #web_config.vm.provisioner=:puppet

	    web_config.vm.provider_options={ 
	      # ID = "ami-cef405a7" = x64 Ubuntu 10.10

	      # Flavors
	      :flavor_id => 't1.micro',

	    web_config.vm.key="my-ec2-key.pem"

	  ### Provisioners
	  config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
	    puppet.pp_path = "/tmp/vagrant-puppet"
	    #puppet.manifests_path = "puppet/manifests"
	    #puppet.module_path = "puppet/modules"
	    puppet.manifest_file = "newbox.pp"
	  end

	  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
	     chef.cookbooks_path = [""]
	     chef.add_recipe("")
	     # You may also specify custom JSON attributes:
	     chef.json.merge!({})
	  end
