vagrant-opsworks

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

Use this project to build a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (or Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS) box provisioned with opsworks ruby2.0.0-p451 and chef 11.10.4 from agent release 323.

You may have noticed the new opsworks agent using chef-client with chef-zero now, be aware this box only provides chef-solo.

The previous release of this project (for opsworks chef version 11.4.4) is preserved in the chef-11.4 branch.
