How do I use it?

There are several ways to get it:

1. An already prepared Vagrant box. With integrated wildcard dns for easy reference.

2. An Amazon AMI.

3. Digital Ocean Droplet

4. Rackspace OpenStack Image

5. Build your own somewhere else using Packer and a set of Chef cookbooks.

6. Build your own using knife solo - just need SSH access - more info. (Added May 10, 2014.)

7. Deprecated: An Ansible playbook we used to kick off the project.
