The Workshop: Run Amazon Linux Locally

This month we focus on running Amazon Linux on your local development machine via Vagrant. While you could spin up resources in EC2 and go to town, maybe you’re not quite ready to jump into the deep end. Perhaps you want to test your application in a controlled environment to see how it performs on Amazon Linux. Possibly you’re new to AWS and don’t want to burn through all of your free credits. These are all great reasons to spend some time creating your local instance for testing your application.
