Ugly Way to Get Chef to Install an RPM from a URL
where_the_cool_packages_at = {}
where_the_cool_packages_at << { :package => "awesomeness.rpm", # this will be used as the downloaded filename
:url => "https://awesomesauce.example.com/download/this/awesomeness.rpm" # where to get it
}
where_the_cool_packages_at << { :package => "otherthing.rpm",
:url => "https://someotherthing.example.com/download/the/otherthing.rpm"
}
where_the_cool_packages_at.each do |package, url|
# download the thing from `url` and put it in Chef's file cache

Multiple NICs in a Vagrant machine

With this Vagrantfile, you will have a Vagrant VM with three NICs. Vagrant uses eth0 for NAT'ing the guest to the outside world. (I do not know a way to override this. Vagrant is very unhappy with eth0 being the NAT interface.) eth1 and eth2 will be on separate virtual subnets available only between the host and the guest.
