Hot on the heals of the Test Kitchen release, I have released the RC of kitchen-ec2 0.10.0.  The big feature in this release is support for Windows guests in AWS.  As a quickstart guide you can specify:

platforms:
  - name: windows-2012r2
  
This will create a Windows guest using the default AMI provided for Windows 2012R2.  To use `kitchen login` you need the password for the Administrator user, which we fetch from AWS and store in the `.kitchen/<platform>-<suite>.json` file.  Unfortunately we cannot automatically provide this password to RDP at this point.

You can, however, specify your own username and password with transport options:

transport:
  username: foo
  password: bar

Or

platforms:
  - name: windows-2012r2
  transport:
    username: foo
    password: bar

We specify a default user data which adds that user to the Administrator group, and you can then `kitchen login` with the known user and password.  See the CHANGELOG for more details.

If there are no issues reported with this RC I will officially release it next week.

Cheers!
-Tyler
