+title: Provision a AWS server with Vagrant and Ansible
+summary: In which I provision a AWS server using Vagrant and Ansible
+layout: post
+---
+
+I have a private repository with all my rules for ansible. You'll need a simple playbook with the following content:
+
+```yaml
+miranda ~/code/git/shiro λ more vagrant.yml
+-
+  hosts: all
+  sudo: yes
+  vars_files:
+    - vars/defaults.yml
+  roles:
+    - common
+```
+
+First let's try our setup with a local box: `vagrant box add precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box`.
+
+Now we can create a Vagrantfile:
+
+```ruby
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.vm.box = "precise64"
+  config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
+
+  config.ssh.forward_agent = true
+
+  config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|
+    ansible.playbook = ENV['VAGRANT_ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK']
+  end
+end
+```
+
+If we run `vagrant up`, a box will be started and provisioned. Once it's done, you can run `vagrant ssh` and once logged inside the VM, run `htop`.
+
+Now let's move to the configuration for AWS. `vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws`. Then `vagrant box add dummy https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws/raw/master/dummy.box`.
