Hi Alvaro, Thanks for replying.

The AWS provider doesn't support any of the Vagrant ==> default: high-level network configurations (`config.vm.network`). They ==> default: will be silently ignored. ==> default: Warning! You didn't specify a keypair to launch your instance with. ==> default: This can sometimes result in not being able to access your instance. ==> default: Launching an instance with the following settings... ==> default: -- Type: m3.medium ==> default: -- AMI: ami-5b49b734 ==> default: -- Region: eu-central-1 ==> default: -- Block Device Mapping: [] ==> default: -- Terminate On Shutdown: false ==> default: -- Monitoring: false ==> default: -- EBS optimized: false ==> default: -- Source Destination check: ==> default: -- Assigning a public IP address in a VPC: false ==> default: -- VPC tenancy specification: default There was an error talking to AWS. The error message is shown... What I am trying to do is to vagrant up a local virtual machine besides the AWS AMI, not an EC2 instance. I hope this clears up my goal here.
