This currently has two Ubunutu instances that is launches. You can modify 'Vagrantfile' under Ubuntu64 directory to launch more than one instance.

# Create 1 nodes
  (1..1).each do |i|
  
# Create 10 nodes
  (1..10).each do |i|

cd Ubuntu64
vagrant up

Wait for the instance(s) to launch.

vagrant ssh node-1
vagrant ssh node-2

will get you into the vagrant Linux Instance.

If using Windows and git-bash, you will have to set up a config in your .ssh/config as if you hit control-c in git-bashe.exe it aborts the vagrant ssh command.

.ssh/config

host vlinux
   Hostname 127.0.0.1
   user vagrant
   port 2222
   IdentityFile C:/Development/GeniusVentures/GeniusTokens/TestVMs/Ubuntu64/.vagrant/machines/node-1/virtualbox/private_key

now you instead, do the following on git-bash in Windows.

ssh vlinux
