Proper command to start pcfdev with AWS provider about pcfdev

[mdcarlson]

I think this would make an excellent addition to the FAQ.

We do not support running PCF Dev on AWS. We publish an AWS Vagrant box for use with our own CI systems only. We may stop publishing AWS boxes in the future.

Hi @mdcarlson,

We do not support running PCF Dev on AWS. We publish an AWS Vagrant box for use with our own CI systems only. We may stop publishing AWS boxes in the future. That said, AWS will work as long as you do not use the provided scripts (such as start-osx.sh). With your AWS credentials set in your shell environment, run:

vagrant up --provider=aws

Note that resolution for the X.X.X.X.xip.io domain is flakey for us, and occasionally results in errors. To get around this, we run dnsmasq on our CI boxes.

(This also answers issue #52. Please avoid opening multiple issues for the question.)
