Proviso is completely plugin based, all of the provision software is actual plugins, which makes it so awesome.

So far there are two plugins:

• ec2 - Provision EC2 servers with this plugin

  proviso plugins:install git://github.com/jackhq/proviso_ec2.git

• zerigo - Link IP to FQDN with this plugin

  proviso plugins:install git://github.com/jackhq/proviso_zerigo.git

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
