Interact with AWS S3 on Vagrant Host Machine

[Jamie Jackson]

In my vagrant provisioning process, on the host, I need to pull a database backup off of AWS S3.

I see a couple of ways to do it:

• I can call out to the `aws` CLI (installed on the host)
• I could do it through some ruby S3 API.
  

Doing it on the host, I can leverage the S3 configuration (keys) that already exist on my team's host machines.

I could use some feedback on a decent way to accomplish this.

Thanks,

Jamie

Hello

Not sure if you want to pull a db everytime you want to create a project, what about creating a new base box?

with packer you can build a box, and run shell-local provisioner that will run in the host.

For vagrant, you can check into vagrant-triggers plugin, and run on the host some command before up

I ended up using aws-sdk, and those operations are running in a provision trigger (it only pulls if there isn't a local copy already, BTW). I wanted to avoid coupling that part with a box.
