FAQ

• Why this plugin is not named vagrant-aws-route53 ? > Unfortunately, that name was already taken by another plugin of the same kind.
• So why develop a new one? > There are several reasons for this: use of new AWS SDK, support of multiple records, support of deleting records on machine halt or destory.
