Define global defaults

[johntdyer]

Is it possible to define defaults for some of the AWS values, such as box, key, and secret?

You can do this in the box itself, see the example_box. I'm open to alternatives if you have ideas.

Mitchell,

I was thinking of a config file in the .vagrant.d directory where you can
define defaults, such as:

• region
• aws secret
• aws key
• ami
• vpc / subnet id
• ect

You can of course override these values in the VagrantFiles if you want...
This approach seems to be a common pattern.

You can actually do this. If you put a Vagrantfile in your "~/.vagrant.d" directory then it will be loaded. :)
