Kitchen attempts to log in before sshd is ready

[scarolan]

This is on the plain vanilla CentOS 6.5 AMI from the marketplace. Kitchen fails to log in the first time i run 'kitchen converge', then the second time I run it succeeds. I think it should wait maybe 5-10 seconds after port 22 is open to allow the machine to become fully ready.

Confirmed. I got around this by setting
ssh_timeout: 5
ssh_retries: 5

Perhaps this should be a setting managed in amis.json?

I'm going to try and repro this so I can see where in the code it is failing - it may make sense to hardcode retry logic in there, or default the ssh_timeout and ssh_restries config to be greater for ec2 instances.

EDIT
NM, I can see the list of AMIs here - https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-ec2/blob/master/data/amis.json

Hey @scarolan - can you try this again with the latest version of kitchen-ec2 (0.9.0) and see if this is still an issue? We updated to use the Test Kitchen 1.4 logic which greatly improved transport issues.

I'm going to go ahead and close this since I haven't gotten a response - please re-open if you're still having problems with the latest version of kitchen-ec2!
