Having trouble using Ansible to deploy Quantum Mobile to AWS EC2 Instance. I'm not sure how to configure a setting called "vagrant" or "vagrant-ssh"

Here is the feedback in the shell. I'm not sure how to configure or install this vagrant thing. I couldn't find any clear instructions online. Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: I was able to install Vagrant from the link but I was not able to correctly install VirtualBox. When I try to do vagrant up I get the following error message

(quantum_env) localhost:quantum-mobile user$ vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Checking if box 'bento/ubuntu-18.04' version '202012.21.0' is up to date... ==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces... There was an error while executing VBoxManage, a CLI used by Vagrant for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

From the documentation

Prerequisites & Installation

Vagrant >= 2.0.1
VirtualBox >= 6.1.6
Python >= 3.6

You can install vagrant from here Installing Vagrant and VirtualBox from here

Once you install vagrant and VirtualBox you can launch the machine on your by

vagrant up

There is a Vagrantfile in the main repo for ansible-playbooks.

After that you can simply can configure vagrant-ssh as described in the documentation

vagrant ssh-config > vagrant-ssh
tox -e ansible

Depending on how you want to run the ansible-playbook you need to modify few parameters in inventory

The error you see stems from the following configuration in the inventory

vagrant-provision:
    # this private network IP will be created by `vagrant up`
    cloud_platform: virtualbox
    ansible_host: 192.168.111.222
    ansible_user: vagrant
vagrant-ssh:
    # requires first running `vagrant ssh-config > vagrant-ssh`
    cloud_platform: virtualbox
    ansible_host: default
    ansible_ssh_common_args: "-F vagrant-ssh"
    ansible_user: vagrant

If you want to use aws machine you need to update the IP address here.

    # To connect to VMs you should change the host IP and provide an SSH key file
aws:
    cloud_platform: aws
    ansible_host: 34.227.10.49  # change this
    ansible_ssh_common_args: -i ./keys/quantum-mobile.pem -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no
    ansible_user: ubuntu
    vm_headless: true
    add_user_public_key: "{{ lookup('file', './keys/user-key.pub') }}

For launching the instance you can refer here

Seems like the like the link to launch instance is broken.

You can follow this to Launch an Amazon EC2 Instance
