+
+**aws**: This folder contains a `Vagrantfile` and supporting files for using Vagrant to spin up an instance on AWS. This allows you to use Vagrant to spin up and destroy an instance on AWS.
+
+**aws-multi**: Like "vagrant-aws", but for spinning up multiple instances on AWS.
+
+**complex-json**: This folder contains files that illustrate how to use a "complex" JSON file as an external data source for a `Vagrantfile`.

+**complex-yaml**: This folder contains files that illustrate how to use "complex" YAML files in a `Vagrantfile`.
+
+**docker**: In this folder you'll find `Vagrantfiles` and supporting documents for using the Docker provider in Vagrant to turn up Docker containers. The provisioning is handled by Vagrant's built-in Docker provisioner.
+
+**docker-json**: Like `docker-yaml`, this folder is an extension of "vagrant-docker" in that it provides the ability to specify, in an external JSON file, a list of Docker containers to be instantiated by Vagrant. The provisioning is handled by Vagrant's built-in Docker provisioner.
+
+**docker-yaml**: This folder is an extension of "vagrant-docker" in that it provides the ability to specify the list of Docker containers that Vagrant will create in a separate YAML file. The provisioning is handled by Vagrant's built-in Docker provisioner.

+**multi-provider**: The `Vagrantfile` and supporting documents in this folder show how to build Vagrant environments to support multiple back-end providers.
+
+**openstack**: This folder contains a `Vagrantfile` and supporting files for using Vagrant with the OpenStack provider. This allows you to use Vagrant to provision and destroy an instance in an OpenStack cloud.
+
+**openstack-multi**: This folder is similar to `vagrant/openstack`, but supports Vagrant operations on multiple instances.
