Vagrant base box for HDP

[#1]

Repo Description

I often use Vagrant as a way to construct purpose built single or multi-node "sandbox" clusters as an alternative to the Hortonworks Sandbox. Properly preparing a linux box for HDP can be time consuming, complicated and error prone. Furthermore, creating and maintaining a Vagrantfile with complex, boiler plate code, is tedious and will increase the time it takes to provision your box. This box simplifies building Vagrant based clusters by handling the complexity for you.

Great stuff @Tim Veil. Have you any idea how to do this for AWS? I created a lovely AMI with all the right stuff (ami-e8af968b) but haven't been able to successfully point to it as a Vagrant "Box" and start using "vagrant-aws". Thoughts? Ideas?
