Vagrant Consul Demo

This demo provides a very simple Vagrantfile that creates two nodes, one at "172.20.20.10" and another at "172.20.20.11". Both are running a standard Ubuntu 12.04 distribution, and Consul is pre-installed.

To get started, you can start the cluster by just doing:

$ vagrant up

Once it is finished, you should be able to see the following:

$ vagrant status
Current machine states:
n1                        running (vmware_fusion)
n2                        running (vmware_fusion)

At this point the two nodes are running and you can SSH in to play with them:

$ vagrant ssh n1
...
$ vagrant ssh n2
...
