I started using vagrant last week to debug my Chef scripts and it is indeed awesome. Vagrant uses Chef (chef-solo) configure your VM from bare image to working server.
I see that is has a plug in system for other provision systems like Puppet, but the chef support works great out of the box.
I was hoping to contribute to the project by integrating fog the ruby library which talks to many cloud systems including EC2 so someone could build an image via Chef or Puppet, dev and test in their image, then provision and upload to the cloud. Could probably do this without integrating with vagrant by building a clever rake or capistrano script.
