Incorporate snapshotting via the vagrant-snap plugin

[rtyler]

This looks promising (or perhaps this thingie over here)

I have a couple ideas that could be interesting:

• Boot from latest snapshot if available
• Create snapshot at end of job
• Revert to snapshot as a build step
• Capture snapshot as a build step

Oh jedi master, guide me in the right direction and I will attempt to incorporate sahara until the plugin.

I would like to be able to use the vagrant-plugin to

• boot a clone of my basebox
• apply puppet manifests/modules
• run AIDE/tripwire to validate changes
• email AIDE/tripwire report

An option to keep or destroy the box would be ideal. In case of failure, I would need to be able to login to the box to pull puppet logs, etc..

I'm usually use vagrant with the snapshot plugin to build several projects faster. Basically I do all the provision on the VM and save the snapshot. Then when I build I use the snapshot instead of the base image+provisioning and is way faster!

I didn't try this plugin though, but I'm really concerned about the time it'll take to do CI with this enabled.
