ec2 vpc with kitchen

[Arthur autohandle]

i found a document for bringing up a vpc with knife:
http://hectcastro.me/2012/12/25/bootstrapping-private-subnet-instances-in-amazon-vpc-with-knife.html

and i found the documentation for kitchen-ec2:
https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2

but i can't find where vpc is mentioned for kitchen - can i get a hint?

I haven't tried doing this myself using either tool, so I don't know the exact answer, but searching for VPC in the github issue tracker for kitchen-ec2 seems to outline all the required components.  (And you can see people are actively using VPC setups with kitchen-ec2, so if it were me, I'd contact some of the people who submitted stuff for more detail...and perhaps collaborate on updating the kitchen-ec2 documentation *grin*):

The most promising seems to be this thread where actual .kitchen.yml files are discussed in detail, and the thread is pretty recent (2 months ago):

doesn't invoke test while using ec2 driver.  If it were me, I try the last one in the list, tweak the security_group setting as he mentions, and see if that works (and if not contact JigarJoshi with more questions):

Also, here's some older ones...

Adding subnet_id option for use with VPCs:

https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2/pull/7

In VPC groups must be specified by setting :security_group_ids rather than :groups

https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2/pull/15

Support selection of private IP:

https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2/pull/21

Try to use dns_name before public and private ip address

https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2/pull/20

Use private ip if the public ip is nil:

it says:

You need to create /etc/chef/ohai/hints/ec2.json. It doesn’t need any content but the file itself needs to exist. We pass a provider attribute into our node attributes (vsphere, openstack, ec2, etc) and added this to our bootstrap file:

<% if ['openstack', 'ec2' ].include? first_boot['provider'] %>

mkdir -p /etc/chef/ohai/hints

touch /etc/chef/ohai/hints/<%= first_boot['provider'] %>.json

<% end %>

what does it mean: bootstrap file?

so sorry to be confused by the basics - thanks for helping me.
