Output

Packer and Vagrant support creating virtual machines for many different environments. Currently, ProjectBrightSun only support outputting virtual environments to VirtualBox, but that will be changing soon.

Changing the Output: EC2

Packer can be used to directly output Amazon AMIs. If you are doing all your provisioning through packer, this may suit your needs. See this documentation for information on how to do that.

If you want to do provisioning through Vagrant instead, packer can turn the AMI into a Vagrant box. This happens through a post-processor. The Vagrant post-processor is already included in the configuration files ProjectBrightSun outputs. It will export a Vagrant box file that is usable with the vagrant-aws plugin. Thus, you can do variable provisioning through Vagrant and create new EC2 instances in minutes.
