One option would be to use the vagrant-hostmanager plugin (vagrant plugin
install vagrant-hostmanager), take a look at the Custom IP resolver
section: https://github.com/smdahlen/vagrant-hostmanager#custom-ip-resolverfor
tips on getting the public ip address.

This would allow you to just use a hostname in your chef recipe or
attributes.

(I normally only use hostmanager with vbox VM's, but it looks like there is
AWS support, for both public & private IP address usage)
