Use Vagrant to launch AWS boxes

Very cool. Out of curiosity, are there any plans to make it easy to provision/create AWS boxes securely via chroot via Eric Hammond's approaches at Alestic? Currently it is a very tedious process to make a secure image on Amazon so that no credentials leak into history and whatnot, it is a tedious process. Making this easy would go a long way to making it trivial to use vagrant to safely publish public boxes for EC2.

This is going to be very very useful! It's going to make setting up a staging environment much easier, since we are already using vagrant for dev environments.

I wonder if there will be any support for assigning Elastic IPs.

This looks awesome! I can hardly wait for Vagrant 1.1 to be released.
