Question

I\'ve got a vagrant file that builds a local VM. I want to add the EC2 provider and have the option of either provisioning a local VM or one on EC2.

Can I create co

You can choose which provider you want to run by --provider parameter.

Here is ruby code in Vagrantfile which can run different VM depending which provider you have chosen:

require 'getoptlong'

# Parse CLI arguments.
opts = GetoptLong.new(
  [ '--provider',     GetoptLong::OPTIONAL_ARGUMENT ],
)

provider='virtualbox'
begin
  opts.each do |opt, arg|
    case opt
      when '--provider'
        provider=arg
    end # case
  end # each
  rescue
end

# Vagrantfile API/syntax version.
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|

  config.vm.hostname = "vagrant"
  config.vm.define "default-#{provider}"

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vbox, override|
    vbox.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--natdnshostresolver1', 'on']
    vbox.name = "test.local"
    override.vm.box = "ubuntu/wily64"
    override.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.22.22"
  end

  config.vm.provider :aws do |aws, override|
    aws.ami = "ami-7747d01e"
    aws.instance_type = "m3.medium"
    override.vm.box = "dummy"
    override.vm.box_url = "https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws/raw/master/dummy.box"
    override.ssh.username = "ubuntu"
  end

end

So by the default provider is virtualbox, but you can specify from the command line, like:

vagrant up --provider=aws
