vagrant-opsworks

The main goal of this project is building vagrant boxes for developing & testing cookbooks you plan to use in Amazon Opsworks.

At the moment the Opsworks agent will always provision your instances with a ruby 1.8.7 stack including a custom version of chef 11.4.4.

Use this project to build a Ubuntu 12.04 vagrant box provisioned with the ruby stack from opsworks agent release 214.
